فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

he will call for damnation

and roast in a blaze.

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

So no! I swear an oath by the twilight

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and by the night and whatever it enveloped

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and by the moon when it was full

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

that you will, truly, ride plane after plane.

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Then, what is for them who believe not

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

when the Quran was recited to them, they prostrate not themselves?‡

Wa-itha quri-a AAalayhimu alqur-anu la yasjudoona

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Nay! Those who were ungrateful deny,

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

but God is greater in knowledge of what they amass.

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

So give them good tidings of a painful punishment.

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

But those who believed and did as the ones in accord with morality, for them is compensation, that which is unfailing.

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
