هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ

Is there (not) in these a Sign for those who understand

Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Do you not see how your Mighty Lord dealt with the people of 'Ad —

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

(And with the people) of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars

Irama thati alAAimadi

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Which have not been reproduced in (all) the land

Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And with the people of Samood (Thamud) who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley? —

And here (they) piled mischief (upon mischief)

Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Therefore did your Mighty Lord send upon them very lowly punishments

Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Because your (Mighty) Lord is (like a Guardian) on a watch tower

Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Now, as for man, when his Mighty Lord tries him (by) giving him honor and gifts then he (proudly) says, "My Mighty Lord has honored me."

Faamma al-insanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

But when He tries him, (by) restricting his livelihood for him, then he says (in despair), "My Mighty Lord has put me to shame!"

كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

No, no! But you do not honor the orphans

Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Nor do you encourage one another to feed the poor! —

Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And you (wrongly) consume inheritance— With all (the) greed

Wata/kuloona altturatha aklan lamman

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And you love wealth with passion

Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

Syed Vickar Ahamed

No! When the earth is pounded to powder

Kalla itha dukkati al-ardu dakkan dakkan

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And your Mighty Lord arrives and His angels, rank upon rank

Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

Syed Vickar Ahamed

He (the man) will say: "Ah! Had I sent forward (good deeds) for my (future) Life!"

Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Because, that Day, his punishment will be such like no one (else) can inflict

Fayawma-ithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
