BY the star-bespangled Heaven
By the promised Day
By the witness and the witnessed
Cursed the masters of the trench
Of the fuel-fed fire
When they sat around i
Witnesses of what they inflicted on the believers
Nor did they torment them but for their faith in God, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy
His the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth; and God is the witness of everything
Verily, those who vexed the believers, men and women, and repented not, doth the torment of Hell, and the torment of the burning, await
But for those who shall have believed and done the things that be right, are the Gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow. This the immense bliss
Verily, right terrible will be thy Lord's vengeance
He it is who produceth all things, and causeth them to return
And is He the Indulgent, the Loving
Possessor of the Glorious throne
Worker of that he willeth
Hath not the story reached thee of the host
Of Pharaoh and Themoud
Nay! the infields are all for denial
But God surroundeth them from behind
Yet it is a glorious Koran
Written on the preserved Table
