53. Nexhm · verses 36–43

أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ

Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses-

وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ

Waibraheema allathee waffa

And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?-

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another;

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

That man can have nothing but what he strives for;

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight:

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete;

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

That to thy Lord is the final Goal;

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears;
