Have you seen him who turns his back, 33 And gives a little and (then) withholds. 34 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allah ordered him to do or convey), 37 That no soul laden bears the load of another, 38 and that man shall have only that for which he strives; 39 He will certainly see the result of his labor 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 And that to your Lord (Allah) is the End (Return of everything). 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 And that He it is Who causes death and gives life- 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 from a drop of sperm when it was emitted, 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 That it is He who makes you rich and contented; 48 And that He (Allah) is the Lord of Sirius (the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship); 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 50 And the Thamud nor gave them a lease of perpetual life. 51 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious; 52 It is He who turned upside down the people of Lot 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 None but God can avert it. 58 Then at this statement do you wonder? 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.). 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
