1 | By the dawn | |
2 | and ten nights, | |
3 | by the even and the odd, | |
4 | by the night when it journeys on! | |
5 | Is there in that an oath for a mindful man? | |
6 | Hast thou not seen how thy Lord did with Ad, | |
7 | Iram of the pillars, | |
8 | the like of which was never created in the land, | |
9 | and Thamood, who hollowed the rocks in the valley, | |
10 | and Pharaoh, he of the tent-pegs, | |
11 | who all were insolent in the land | |
12 | and worked much corruption therein? | |
13 | Thy Lord unloosed on them a scourge of chastisement; | |
14 | surely thy Lord is ever on the watch. | |
15 | As for man, whenever his Lord tries him, and honours him, and blesses him, then he says, 'My Lord has honoured me.' | |
16 | But when he tries him and stints for him his provision, then he says, 'My Lord has despised me.' | |
17 | No indeed; but you honour not the orphan, | |
18 | and you urge not the feeding of the needy, | |
19 | and you devour the inheritance greedily, | |
20 | and you love wealth with an ardent love | |
21 | No indeed! When the earth is ground to powder, | |
22 | and thy Lord comes, and the angels rank on rank, | |
23 | and Gehenna is brought out, upon that day man will remember; and how shall the Reminder be for him? | |
24 | He shall say, 'O would that I had forwarded for my life!' | |
25 | Upon that day none shall chastise as He chastises, | |
26 | none shall bind as He binds. | |
27 | 'O soul at peace, | |
28 | return unto thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing! | |
29 | Enter thou among My servants! | |
30 | Enter thou My Paradise!' |
