O thou enveloped in thy cloak, |
|
| 2 |
Arise and warn! |
|
| 3 |
Thy Lord magnify, |
|
| 4 |
Thy raiment purify, |
|
| 5 |
Pollution shun! |
|
| 6 |
And show not favour, seeking wordly gain! |
|
| 7 |
For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! |
|
| 8 |
For when the trumpet shall sound, |
|
| 9 |
Surely that day will be a day of anguish, |
|
| 10 |
Not of ease, for disbelievers. |
|
| 11 |
Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely, |
|
| 12 |
And then bestowed upon him ample means, |
|
| 13 |
And sons abiding in his presence |
|
| 14 |
And made (life) smooth for him. |
|
| 15 |
Yet he desireth that I should give more. |
|
| 16 |
Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations. |
|
| 17 |
On him I shall impose a fearful doom. |
|
| 18 |
For lo! he did consider; then he planned - |
|
| 19 |
(Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! |
|
| 20 |
Again (self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! - |
|
| 21 |
Then looked he, |
|
| 22 |
Then frowned he and showed displeasure. |
|
| 23 |
Then turned he away in pride |
|
| 24 |
And said: This is naught else than magic from of old; |
|
| 25 |
This is naught else than speech of mortal man. |
|
| 26 |
Him shall I fling unto the burning. |
|
| 27 |
- Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! - |
|
| 28 |
It leaveth naught; it spareth naught |
|
| 29 |
It shrivelleth the man. |
|
| 30 |
Above it are nineteen. |
|
| 31 |
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals. |
|
| 32 |
Nay, by the Moon |
|
| 33 |
And the night when it withdraweth |
|
| 34 |
And the dawn when it shineth forth, |
|
| 35 |
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) |
|
| 36 |
As a warning unto men, |
|
| 37 |
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back. |
|
| 38 |
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds; |
|
| 39 |
Save those who will stand on the right hand. |
|
| 40 |
In gardens they will ask one another |
|
| 41 |
Concerning the guilty: |
|
| 42 |
What hath brought you to this burning ? |
|
| 43 |
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed |
|
| 44 |
Nor did we feed the wretched. |
|
| 45 |
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders, |
|
| 46 |
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, |
|
| 47 |
Till the Inevitable came unto us. |
|
| 48 |
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then. |
|
| 49 |
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment, |
|
| 50 |
As they were frightened asses |
|
| 51 |
Fleeing from a lion ? |
|
| 52 |
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah). |
|
| 53 |
Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter. |
|
| 54 |
Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment. |
|
| 55 |
So whosoever will may heed. |
|
| 56 |
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. |
