[Yusufali 68:1] Nun. By the Pen and the (Record) which (men) write,-
[Yusufali 68:2] Thou art not, by the Grace of thy Lord, mad or possessed.
[Yusufali 68:3] Nay, verily for thee is a Reward unfailing:
[Yusufali 68:4] And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character.
[Yusufali 68:5] Soon wilt thou see, and they will see,
[Yusufali 68:6] Which of you is afflicted with madness.
[Yusufali 68:7] Verily it is thy Lord that knoweth best, which (among men) hath strayed from His Path: and He knoweth best those who receive (true) Guidance.
[Yusufali 68:8] So hearken not to those who deny (the Truth).
[Yusufali 68:9] Their desire is that thou shouldst be pliant: so would they be pliant.
[Yusufali 68:10] Heed not the type of despicable men,- ready with oaths,
[Yusufali 68:11] A slanderer, going about with calumnies,
[Yusufali 68:12] (Habitually) hindering (all) good,
transgressing beyond bounds, deep in sin,
[Yusufali 68:13] Violent (and cruel),-
with all that, base-
born,-
[Yusufali 68:14] Because he possesses wealth and (numerous) sons.
[Yusufali 68:15] When to him are rehearsed Our Signs, "Tales of the ancients", he cries!
[Yusufali 68:16] Soon shall We brand (the beast) on the snout!
[Yusufali 68:17] Verily We have tried them as We tried the People of the Garden,
when they resolved to gather the fruits of the (garden) in the morning.
[Yusufali 68:18] But made no reservation, ("If it be Allah's Will").
[Yusufali 68:19] Then there came on the (garden) a visitation from thy Lord, (which swept away) all around, while they were asleep.
[Yusufali 68:20] So the (garden) became, by the morning, like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).
[Yusufali 68:21] As the morning broke, they called out, one to another,-
[Yusufali 68:22] "Go ye to your tilth (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits."
[Yusufali 68:23] So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying)-
[Yusufali 68:24] "Let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day."
[Yusufali 68:25] And they opened the morning, strong in an (unjust) resolve.
[Yusufali 68:26] But when they saw the (garden), they said: "We have surely lost our way:
[Yusufali 68:27] "Indeed we are shut out (of the fruits of our labour)!"
[Yusufali 68:28] Said one of them, more just (than the rest): "Did I not say to you, 'Why not glorify (Allah)?'"
[Yusufali 68:29] They said: "
Glory to our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong!"
[Yusufali 68:30] Then they turned, one against another, in reproach.
[Yusufali 68:31] They said: "
Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!
[Yusufali 68:32] "It may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this: for we do turn to Him (in repentance)!"
[Yusufali 68:33] Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter,- if only they knew!
[Yusufali 68:34] Verily, for the Righteous, are Gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord.
[Yusufali 68:35] Shall We then treat the People of Faith like the People of Sin?
[Yusufali 68:36] What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
[Yusufali 68:37] Or have ye a book through which ye learn-
[Yusufali 68:38] That ye shall have, through it whatever ye choose?
[Yusufali 68:39] Or have ye Covenants with Us to oath, reaching to the Day of Judgment, (providing) that ye shall have whatever ye shall demand?
[Yusufali 68:40] Ask thou of them, which of them will stand surety for that!
[Yusufali 68:41] Or have they some "
Partners" (in Allahhead)? Then let them produce their "partners",
if they are truthful!
[Yusufali 68:42] The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,-
[Yusufali 68:43] Their eyes will be cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused).
[Yusufali 68:44] Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.
[Yusufali 68:45] A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.
[Yusufali 68:46] Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?-
[Yusufali 68:47] Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?
[Yusufali 68:48] So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony.
[Yusufali 68:49] Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.
[Yusufali 68:50] Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous.
[Yusufali 68:51] And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the Message; and they say: "
Surely he is possessed!"
[Yusufali 68:52] But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.
