4 And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

10 And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

11 He will cry out for destruction

13 Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

13 Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

14 Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

15 But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

16 So I swear by the twilight glow

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

16 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

17 And [by] the night and what it envelops

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

17 And the night and that which it drives on,

18 And [by] the moon when it becomes full

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

18 And the moon when it grows full,

19 [That] you will surely experience state after state.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

20 So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

20 But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

21 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

22 But those who have disbelieved deny,

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

22 Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

23 And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

23 And Allah knows best what they hide,

24 So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

24 So announce to them a painful punishment~

25 Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

25 Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
