Nay; I swear by the moon, 32 And by the Night as it retreateth, 33 and the morn when it dawns! 34 surely (Hell) is one of the greatest Signs, 35 A warning to mortals, 36 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back. 37 Every soul is held in pledge against its own deeds, 38 Save the fellows of the right. 39 in Gardens they will question 40 concerning the sinners, 41 "What has brought you into hell-fire?" 42 They will answer: "We were not among those who prayed; 43 Nor did we used to feed the poor. 44 And plunged into useless things with those who were obstinate, 45 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; 46 until certainty came upon us [in death]." 47 The intercession of the intercessors will be of no benefit to them. 48 What ails them, that they turn away from the Reminder, 49 As if they were asses taking fright 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Nay, every man of them desires to be -- given -- scrolls unrolled. 52 No indeed; the truth is that they have no fear of the Hereafter. 53 Nay, verily, this is an admonition 54 so whoever wills shall remember it. 55 And they shall not heed unless Allah willeth. He is the Lord of piety, and the Lord of forgiveness. 56
