14 And it is not a joke. |
15 Surely they plan a plan, |
16 And I plan a plan. |
17 So grant the disbelievers a respite — let them alone for a while. |
1 Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High! |
2 Who creates, then makes complete, |
3 And Who measures, then guides, |
4 And Who brings forth herbage, |
5 Then makes it dried up, dust-coloured. |
6 We shall make thee recite so thou shalt not forget — |
7 Except what Allāh please. Surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden. |
8 And We shall make thy way smooth to a state of ease. |
9 So remind, reminding indeed profits. |
10 He who fears will mind, |
11 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it, |
12 Who will burn in the great Fire. |
13 Then therein he will neither live nor die. |
14 He indeed is successful who purifies himself, |
15 And remembers the name of his Lord, then prays. |
16 But, you prefer the life of this world, |
17 While the Hereafter is better and more lasting. |
18 Surely this is in the earlier scriptures, |
19 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses. |
