| 1. * | By the dawn. |
| 2. * | And the ten nights. |
| 3. * | And the even and the odd. |
| 4. * | And the night when it passes. |
| 5. * | In this is an oath for the one with intelligence. |
| 6. * | Did you not see what your Lord did to 'Aad? |
| 7. * | Irum, with the great columns? |
| 8. * | The one which was like no other in the land? |
| 9. * | And Thamud who carved the rocks in the valley? |
| 10. * | And Pharaoh with the planks? |
| 11. * | They all transgressed in the land. |
| 12. * | And made much corruption therein. |
| 13. * | So your Lord poured upon them a measure of retribution. |
| 14. * | Your Lord is ever watchful. |
| 15. * | As for man, if his Lord tests him and grants him much, then he says: "My Lord has blessed me!" |
| 16. * | And if his Lord tests him and gives him little wealth, then he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!" |
| 17. * | No, you are not generous to the orphan. |
| 18. * | And you do not look to feeding the poor. |
| 19. * | And you consume others inheritance, all with greed. |
| 20. * | And you love money, a love that is excessive. |
| 21. * | No, when the Earth is pounded into rubble. |
| 22. * | And your Lord comes with the Angels row after row. |
| 23. * | And Hell on that Day is brought. On that Day man will remember, but how will the remembrance now help him? |
| 24. * | He says: "I wish I had worked towards my life!" |
| 25. * | On that Day, no other will bear his punishment. |
| 26. * | Nor will anyone be able to free his bonds. |
| 27. * | "O you soul which is peaceful." |
| 28. * | "Return to your Lord happy and content." |
| 29. * | "And enter in amongst My servants." |
| 30. * | "And enter My Paradise." |
