Fecr Sûresi Wahiduddin Khan Meâli

By the Dawn, ﴾ 1 ﴿
by the Ten Nights, ﴾ 2 ﴿
by the even and the odd, ﴾ 3 ﴿
and by the passing night, ﴾ 4 ﴿
is there not in this strong evidence for a man of sense? ﴾ 5 ﴿
Have you not heard of how your Lord dealt with the tribe of 'Ad, ﴾ 6 ﴿
the people of Iram, the city of many pillars, ﴾ 7 ﴿
the like of which has never been created in the land, ﴾ 8 ﴿
and with the Thamud, who cut out [huge] rocks in the valley, ﴾ 9 ﴿
and with Pharaoh of the stakes? ﴾ 10 ﴿
All of them committed excesses in their lands, ﴾ 11 ﴿
and caused much corruption in them: ﴾ 12 ﴿
so your Lord unleashed on them the scourge of punishment: ﴾ 13 ﴿
for, indeed, your Sustainer is ever on the watch! ﴾ 14 ﴿
As for man, when his Lord tests him, through honour and blessings, he says, "My Lord has honoured me," ﴾ 15 ﴿
but when He tests him by straitening his means of livelihood, he says, "My Lord has disgraced me." ﴾ 16 ﴿
No indeed, but you show no kindness to the orphan, ﴾ 17 ﴿
nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, ﴾ 18 ﴿
and you greedily devour the inheritance of the weak, ﴾ 19 ﴿
and you have a love of wealth which can never be satisfied. ﴾ 20 ﴿
No indeed! When the earth is crushed and ground to dust, ﴾ 21 ﴿
when your Lord comes down with the angels, rank upon rank, ﴾ 22 ﴿
and Hell is made to appear on that Day, then man will be mindful, but what will being mindful then avail him? ﴾ 23 ﴿
He will say, "Oh, would that I had provided beforehand for my life!" ﴾ 24 ﴿
On that Day no one will punish as He punishes, ﴾ 25 ﴿
and none can bind with bonds like His! ﴾ 26 ﴿
[But to the righteous, God will say], "O soul at peace, ﴾ 27 ﴿
return to your Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing. ﴾ 28 ﴿
Join My servants. ﴾ 29 ﴿
Enter My Paradise." ﴾ 30 ﴿
