By
the Dawn, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
and
by the ten nights, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
and
by the even and the odd, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
and
by night when it departs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
indeed
in them is an oath for man of sense. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Did
thou not see how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
and
the people of many-columned Iram, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
the
like of which was not built in the cities, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
and
with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the vale? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And
with Fir'awn, owner of the stakes -- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
who
all waxed exorbitant in the cities; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
so
they multiplied corruption therein, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
So
thy Lord inflicted on them the scourage of His chastisement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Verily
thy Lord is in an ambuscade. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
As
for man -- when his Lord tries him and honours him, and is bountiful
to him, he says: my Lord has honoured me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
when his lord tries him and stints unto him his provision, he says:
my lord has despised me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
No
indeed I but you do not honour the orphan, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. |
nor
urge upon each other the feeding of the poor, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. |
and
you devour the inheritance greedily, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. |
and
you love riches with exceeding love. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 21. |
No
indeed I when the earth is ground with exceeding grinding, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 22. |
and
comes thy Lord and the angles, rank on rank, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
23. |
and
hell that Day is brought near. man on that Day shall remember, but
how can remembrance avail him them? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Man
will say: would that I had sent before for this life of mine. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
So
on that Day none shall torment any like His torment, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 26. |
nor
shall blind any like His bond. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 27. |
O
thou peaceful soul! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
28. |
Return
unto thy Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 29. |
Enter
thou among My righteous bondmen, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
and
enter thou My Garden. |
|
