هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin
Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?
89. Fexhr · verses 5–17
سورة الفجرأَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the ´Ad (people),-
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
Irama thati alAAimadi
Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi
The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi
And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?-
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."
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!
