By the daybreak
And the ten nights
And the even and the odd
And the night when it departs
Truly in this is an oath for men of understanding
Hast thou not considered how thy Lord dealt with ‘Ad
(Of) Iram, having lofty buildings
The like of which were not created in the land
And (with) Thamud, who hewed out rocks in the valley
And (with) Pharaoh, the lord of hosts
Who exceeded limits in the cities
And made great mischief therein
So thy Lord poured on them a portion of chastisement
Surely thy Lord is Watchful
As for man, when his Lord tries him, then gives him honour and favours him, he says: My Lord honours me
But when He tries him, then straitens to him his subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me
Nay, but you honour not the orphan
Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor
And you devour heritage, devouring all
And you love wealth with exceeding love
Nay, when the earth is made to crumble to pieces
And thy Lord comes with the angels, ranks on ranks
And hell is made to appear that day. On that day man will be mindful, and of what use will being mindful be then
He will say: O would that I had sent before for (this) my life
But none can punish as He will punish on that day
And none can bind as He will bind on that day
O soul that art at rest
Return to thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing
So enter among My servants
And enter My Garden
