| 85:1 | | By the heaven adorned with signs |
| 85:2 | | by the promised day of judgment |
| 85:3 | | by the witness, and the witnessed |
| 85:4 | | cursed were the contrivers of the pit |
| 85:5 | | of fire supplied with fuel |
| 85:6 | | when they sat round the same |
| 85:7 | | and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers |
| 85:8 | | And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God |
| 85:9 | | unto whom belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth: And God is witness of all things |
| 85:10 | | Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning |
| 85:11 | | But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity |
| 85:12 | | Verily the vengeance of thy Lord is severe |
| 85:13 | | He createth, and He restoreth to life |
| 85:14 | | He is inclined to forgive, and gracious |
| 85:15 | | The possessor of the glorious throne |
| 85:16 | | who effecteth that which He pleaseth |
| 85:17 | | Hath not the story of the hosts |
| 85:18 | | of Pharaoh, and of Thamud, reached thee |
| 85:19 | | Yet the unbelievers cease not to accuse the divine revelations of falsehood |
| 85:20 | | But God encompasseth them behind, that they cannot escape |
| 85:21 | | Verily that which they reject is a glorious Koran |
| 85:22 | | the original whereof is written in a table kept in heaven |
