1O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)! 2Arise and deliver thy warning! 3And thy Lord do thou magnify! 4And thy garments keep free from stain! 5And all abomination shun! 6Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)! 7But, for thy Lord´s (Cause), be patient and constant! 8Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded, 9That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,- 10Far from easy for those without Faith. 11Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!- 12To whom I granted resources in abundance, 13And sons to be by his side!- 14To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable! 15Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);- 16By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory! 17Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities! 18For he thought and he plotted;- 19And woe to him! How he plotted!- 20Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!- 21Then he looked round; 22Then he frowned and he scowled; 23Then he turned back and was haughty; 24Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old; 25"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!" 26Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! 27And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? 28Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!- 29Darkening and changing the colour of man! 30Over it are Nineteen. 31And 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 symbol 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 warning to mankind. 32Nay, verily: By the Moon, 33And by the Night as it retreateth, 34And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,- 35This is but one of the mighty (portents), 36A warning to mankind,- 37To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- 38Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds. 39Except the Companions of the Right Hand. 40(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other, 41And (ask) of the Sinners: 42"What led you into Hell Fire?" 43They 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." 48Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them. 49Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?- 50As if they were affrighted asses, 51Fleeing from a lion! 52Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out! 53By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, 54Nay, this surely is an admonition: 55Let any who will, keep it in remembrance! 56But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
