[Yusufali 89:1] By the break of Day
[Yusufali 89:2] By the Nights twice five;
[Yusufali 89:3] By the even and odd (contrasted);
[Yusufali 89:4] And by the Night when it passeth away;-
[Yusufali 89:5] Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?
[Yusufali 89:6] Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),-
[Yusufali 89:7] Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,
[Yusufali 89:8] The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?
[Yusufali 89:9] And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?-
[Yusufali 89:10] And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?
[Yusufali 89:11] (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,
[Yusufali 89:12] And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).
[Yusufali 89:13] Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:
[Yusufali 89:14] For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch- tower.
[Yusufali 89:15] Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."
[Yusufali 89:16] But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"
[Yusufali 89:17] Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!
[Yusufali 89:18] Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-
[Yusufali 89:19] And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,
[Yusufali 89:20] And ye love wealth with inordinate love!
[Yusufali 89:21] Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,
[Yusufali 89:22] And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,
[Yusufali 89:23] And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?
[Yusufali 89:24] He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"
[Yusufali 89:25] For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,
[Yusufali 89:26] And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.
[Yusufali 89:27] (To the righteous soul will be said:) " O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!
[Yusufali 89:28] "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!
[Yusufali 89:29] "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!
[Yusufali 89:30] "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!
