89. Fexhr · verses 10–15

وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ

Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

(All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,

فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ

Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).

فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ

Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ

Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ

Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."
