1. | I swear by the daybreak, |
2. | And the ten nights, |
3. | And the even and the odd, |
4. | And the night when it departs |
S. | Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding. |
6. | Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad, |
7. | (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings, |
8. | The like of which were not created in the (other) cities; |
9. | And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley, |
10. | And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts, |
11. | Who committed inordinacy in the cities, |
12. | So they made great mischief therein? |
13. | Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement. |
14. | Most sure!y your Lord is watching |
15. | And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me. |
16. | But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me. |
17. | Nay! but you do not honor the orphan, |
18. | Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, |
19. | And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately, |
20. | And you love wealth with exceeding love |
21. | Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces, |
22. | And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks, |
23. | And hell is made to appear on that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him? |
24. | He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life! |
25. | But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement, |
26. | And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding |
27. | O soul that art at rest! |
28. | Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him), |
29. | So enter among My servants, |
30. | And enter into My garden |
