1. |
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
|
|
2. |
Arise and deliver thy warning!
|
|
3. |
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
|
|
4. |
And thy garments keep free from stain!
|
|
5. |
And all abomination shun!
|
|
6. |
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
|
|
7. |
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
|
|
8. |
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
|
|
9. |
That will be that Day a Day of Distress,
|
|
10. |
Far from easy for those without Faith.
|
|
11. |
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!
|
|
12. |
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
|
|
13. |
And sons to be by his side!
|
|
14. |
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
|
|
15. |
Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);
|
|
16. |
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
|
|
17. |
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
|
|
18. |
For he thought and he determined;-
|
|
19. |
And woe to him! How he determined!-
|
|
20. |
Yea, woe to him; how he determined!-
|
|
21. |
Then he reflected;
|
|
22. |
Then he frowned and he scowled;
|
|
23. |
Then he turned back and was haughty;
|
|
24. |
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
|
|
25. |
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
|
|
26. |
Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!
|
|
27. |
And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?
|
|
28. |
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-
|
|
29. |
Darkening and changing the color of man!
|
|
30. |
Over it are Nineteen.
|
|
31. |
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What doth Allah intend by this ?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a reminder to mankind.
|
|
32. |
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
|
|
33. |
And by the Night as it retreateth,
|
|
34. |
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
|
|
35. |
This is but one of the mighty (Portents),
|
|
36. |
A warning to mankind,-
|
|
37. |
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-
|
|
38. |
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
|
|
39. |
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
|
40. |
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
|
|
41. |
And (ask) of the Sinners:
|
|
42. |
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
|
|
43. |
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
|
|
44. |
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
|
|
45. |
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
|
|
46. |
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
|
|
47. |
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
|
|
48. |
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
|
|
49. |
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?-
|
|
50. |
As if they were affrighted asses,
|
|
51. |
Fleeing from a lion!
|
|
52. |
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
|
|
53. |
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
|
|
54. |
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
|
|
55. |
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
|
|
56. |
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
