89. Fexhr · verses 16–24

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!"

كـَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ

Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ

Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-

وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلٗا لَّمّٗا

Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبّٗا جَمّٗا

Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

كـَلَّآۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكّٗا دَكّٗا

Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفّٗا صَفّٗا

Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,

وَجِاْيٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ

Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِي

Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"
