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!
