Quran

[1]   By the break of Day

[2]   By the Nights twice five;

[3]   By the even and odd (contrasted);

[4]   And by the Night when it passeth away;-

[5]   Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?

[6]   Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),-

[7]   Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,

[8]   The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?

[9]   And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?-

[10]   And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?

[11]   (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,

[12]   And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).

[13]   Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:

[14]   For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.

[15]   Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."

[16]   But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"

[17]   Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!

[18]   Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-

[19]   And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,

[20]   And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

[21]   Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

[22]   And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,

[23]   And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?

[24]   He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"

[25]   For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,

[26]   And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.

[27]   (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!

[28]   "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!

[29]   "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!

[30]   "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!
