| 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
you not consider how your Lord dealt with
(the tribe of) Aad, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 right, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Who
(all)
were rebellious (to Allah)
these lands, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And
multiplied inquiry therein? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Therefor
your Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Lo!
your Lord is ever watchful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
As
for man, whenever his Lord tries him by honoring him, and is gracious
unto him, he says: My Lord honours me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
But
whenever He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: My
Lord despises me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Nay,
but you (for your part)
honor not the orphan |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. |
And
urge not on the feeding of the poor, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. |
And
you 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
your 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
punishes as He will punish on that day! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 26. |
None
binds as He then will bind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 27. |
But
ah! you soul at peace! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
28. |
Return
unto your Lord, content in His good pleasure! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 29. |
Enter
you among My bondmen! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Enter
you My Garden! |
|
