Seest thou one who turns back, 33 and gives so little [of himself for the good of his soul,] and so grudgingly? 34 Is with him the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees? 35 Has not he been informed of the contents of the Book of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 And that for man shall be naught save that wherefor he endeavoureth. 39 He will certainly see the result of his labor 40 then he shall be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense, 41 and that the final end is unto thy Lord, 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; 44 And that it is He Who has created the two pairs, male and female? 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 and that upon Him rests the second growth, 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; 49 that it was He that destroyed ancient Aad 50 And that Thamud! He left not. 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 So that (ruins unknown) have covered them up. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 This is a warner, of the warners of old. 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 There is no one to unveil it apart from God. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 And laugh and not weep, 60 Wasting your time in vanities? 61 So bow yourselves before God, and serve Him! ۩ 62
