| 1. * | By the Dawn |
| 2. * | And ten nights, |
| 3. * | And the Even and the Odd, |
| 4. * | And the night when it departeth, |
| 5. * | There surely is an oath for thinking man. |
| 6. * | Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad, |
| 7. * | With many-columned Iram, |
| 8. * | The like of which was not created in the lands; |
| 9. * | And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley; |
| 10. * | And with Pharaoh, firm of might, |
| 11. * | Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands, |
| 12. * | And multiplied iniquity therein? |
| 13. * | Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment. |
| 14. * | Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful. |
| 15. * | As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me. |
| 16. * | But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me. |
| 17. * | Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan |
| 18. * | And urge not on the feeding of the poor. |
| 19. * | And ye devour heritages with devouring greed. |
| 20. * | And love wealth with abounding love. |
| 21. * | Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding, |
| 22. * | And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank, |
| 23. * | And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)? |
| 24. * | He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life! |
| 25. * | None punisheth as He will punish on that day! |
| 26. * | None bindeth as He then will bind. |
| 27. * | But ah! thou soul at peace! |
| 28. * | Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure! |
| 29. * | Enter thou among My bondmen! |
| 30. * | Enter thou My Garden! |
