Have you seen him who turns his back, 33 And he gave a little, then refrained? 34 Has he knowledge of the unseen, so that he sees? 35 Has not he been informed of the contents of the Book of Moses 36 And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] - 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 and that man shall have only that for which he strives; 39 and that his labouring shall surely be seen, 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep, 43 And He who ordains death and life; 44 And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female, 45 From the small seed when it is adapted 46 And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth; 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius; 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 and Thamood, and He did not spare them, 51 Like the people of Noah before them, who were surely oppressors and rebellious; 52 And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 So there covered them that which covered. 54 Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt. 55 This is a Warner, of the (series of) Warners of old! 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 [although] none but God can unveil it.... 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 And keep laughing and do not weep, 60 while you make merry? 61 So bow yourselves before God, and serve Him! ۩ 62
