10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

16 So I swear by the twilight glow

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

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

21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

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

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

22 But those who have disbelieved deny,

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

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

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

24 So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

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