Nay, by the Moon 32 by the retreating night, 33 and the morn when it dawns! 34 This is but one of the mighty (portents), 35 A warning to mankind,- 36 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- 37 Every soul is pledged to what it does, 38 except the Companions of the Right. 39 who will be in Paradise 40 about the guilty ones: 41 "What took you into the hell?" 42 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed 43 and we did not feed the needy. 44 and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk, 45 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; 46 "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain." 47 So the intercession of the intercessors will not benefit them. 48 Why then do they turn away from the admonition 49 As if they were alarmed donkeys 50 That had fled from a lion? 51 Aye! every one of them desireth that: he should be vouchsafed scrolls expanded. 52 Never! In fact they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 Nay! it is surely an admonition. 54 Let him who will take heed: 55 No one will seek guidance unless God wills it. He alone is worthy of being feared and He is the Source of Forgiveness. 56
