[70:11]
Though they will be given
sight of them. The guilty man
will long to be able to ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the
price of his children
[70:12]
And his spouse and his brother
[70:13]
And his kin that harboured him
[70:14]
And all that are in the earth, if then it might
deliver him.
[70:15]
But nay! for lo! it is the fire of hell
[70:16]
Eager to roast;
[70:17]
It calleth him who turned and fled (from truth),
[70:18]
And hoarded (wealth) and withheld it.
[70:19]
Lo! man was created
anxious,
[70:20]
Fretful when evil befalleth him
[70:21]
And, when good befalleth him, grudging;
[70:22]
Save worshippers.
[70:23]
Who are constant at their worship
[70:24]
And in whose wealth there is a right
acknowledged
[70:25]
For the beggar and the destitute;
[70:26]
And those who believe in the Day of Judgment,
[70:27]
And those who are fearful of their Lord’s doom -
[70:28]
Lo! the doom of their
Lord is that before which none can feel secure -
[70:29]
And those who preserve their chastity
[70:30]
Save with their wives and those whom their right
hands possess, for thus they are not blameworthy;
[70:31]
But whoso seeketh more than that, those are they
who are transgressors;
[70:32]
And those who keep their pledges and their
covenant,
[70:33]
And those who stand by their testimony
[70:34]
And those who are attentive
at their worship.
[70:35]
These will dwell in Gardens, honoured.
[70:36]
What aileth those who disbelieve, that they keep
staring toward thee (O Muhammad), open-eyed,
[70:37]
On the right and on the left, in groups ?
[70:38]
Doth every man among them hope to enter the
[70:39]
Nay, verily. Lo! We created them from what they
know.
