| 74:1 |
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)! |
| 74:2 |
Arise and deliver thy warning! |
| 74:3 |
And thy Lord do thou magnify! |
| 74:4 |
And thy garments keep free from stain! |
| 74:5 |
And all abomination shun! |
| 74:6 |
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for
thyself)! |
| 74:7 |
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and
constant! |
| 74:8 |
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded, |
| 74:9 |
That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,-
|
| 74:10 |
Far from easy for those without Faith. |
| 74:11 |
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the
(creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!-
|
| 74:12 |
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
|
| 74:13 |
And sons to be by his side!- |
| 74:14 |
To whom I made (life) smooth and
comfortable! |
| 74:15 |
Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet
more);- |
| 74:16 |
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been
refractory! |
| 74:17 |
Soon will I visit him with a mount of
calamities! |
| 74:18 |
For he thought and he plotted;- |
| 74:19 |
And woe to him! How he plotted!- |
| 74:20 |
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!- |
| 74:21 |
Then he looked round; |
| 74:22 |
Then he frowned and he scowled; |
| 74:23 |
Then he turned back and was haughty; |
| 74:24 |
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic,
derived from of old; |
| 74:25 |
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
|
| 74:26 |
Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! |
| 74:27 |
And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire
is? |
| 74:28 |
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught
doth it leave alone!- |
| 74:29 |
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
|
| 74:30 |
Over it are Nineteen. |
| 74:31 |
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 doub ts 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 God intend by this ?" Thus
doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and
guide whom He pleaseth: an d none can know the
forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no
other than a warning to mankind. |
| 74:32 |
Nay, verily: By the Moon, |
| 74:33 |
And by the Night as it retreateth, |
| 74:34 |
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,- |
| 74:35 |
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
|
| 74:36 |
A warning to mankind,- |
| 74:37 |
To any of you that chooses to press forward,
or to follow behind;-
|
| 74:38 |
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its
deeds. |
| 74:39 |
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
| 74:40 |
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they
will question each other,
|
| 74:41 |
And (ask) of the Sinners: |
| 74:42 |
"What led you into Hell Fire?" |
| 74:43 |
They will say: "We were not of those who
prayed; |
| 74:44 |
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
|
| 74:45 |
"But we used to talk vanities with vain
talkers; |
| 74:46 |
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
|
| 74:47 |
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is
certain." |
| 74:48 |
Then will no intercession of (any)
intercessors profit them. |
| 74:49 |
Then what is the matter with them that they
turn away from admonition?-
|
| 74:50 |
As if they were affrighted asses, |
| 74:51 |
Fleeing from a lion! |
| 74:52 |
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given
scrolls (of revelation) spread out! |
| 74:53 |
By no means! But they fear not the
Hereafter, |
| 74:54 |
Nay, this surely is an admonition: |
| 74:55 |
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
|
| 74:56 |
But none will keep it in remembrance except
as God wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness,
and the Lord of Forgiveness. |
