89. Fexhr · verses 12–16

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."

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ

Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"
