فَاَكۡثَرُوۡا فِيۡهَا الۡفَسَادَۙ ١٢

فَاَمَّا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكۡرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗࣙۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّىۡۤ اَكۡرَمَنِؕ ١٥
89:15As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.
وَاَمَّاۤ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰٮهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهٗࣙۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّىۡۤ اَهَانَنِۚ ١٦
89:16But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.

كَلَّاۤ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الۡاَرۡضُ دَكًّا دَكًّاۙ ٢١
89:21Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,
وَّجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالۡمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّاۚ ٢٢
89:22And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,
وَجِاىْٓءَ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍۢ بِجَهَنَّمَࣙۙ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ وَاَنّٰى لَـهُ الذِّكۡرٰىؕ ٢٣
89:23And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?
يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِىۡ قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَـيَاتِىۚ ٢٤
89:24He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!
فَيَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗۤ اَحَدٌۙ ٢٥
89:25None punisheth as He will punish on that day!
وَّلَا يُوۡثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗۤ اَحَدٌؕ ٢٦
89:26None bindeth as He then will bind.
يٰۤاَيَّتُهَا النَّفۡسُ الۡمُطۡمَٮِٕنَّةُۖ ٢٧
89:27But ah! thou soul at peace!
ارۡجِعِىۡۤ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرۡضِيَّةًۚ ٢٨
89:28Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!
فَادۡخُلِىۡ فِىۡ عِبٰدِىۙ ٢٩
89:29Enter thou among My bondmen!
وَادۡخُلِىۡ جَنَّتِى ٣٠
89:30Enter thou My Garden!
