۞ But nay! I swear by the falling of stars; 75 and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew – 76 That it is a Recitation honourable. 77 in a hidden Book 78 which none can touch except the purified. 79 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. 80 What, do you hold this discourse in disdain, 81 And make it your provision that ye should belie it? 82 Why, then, when the soul leaps up to the throat, 83 And you wait for the moment (of death), 84 We are nearer to him than you, but you do not see 85 why, if you are not at Our disposal, 86 Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful? 87 So if he is one of those who are near-stationed (to Allah), 88 Then is relief, and flowers – and Gardens of peace. 89 and if he be a Companion of the Right: 90 Then: peace unto thee, for thou art of those on the right hand. 91 And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones, 92 a welcome of burning despair [awaits him in the life to come,] 93 and the roasting in Hell. 94 Verily, this is indeed the truth of truths! 95 Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. 96
