| 89:1 | | By the daw |
| 89:2 | | and ten nights |
| 89:3 | | by the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | by the night when it journeys on |
| 89:5 | | Is there in that an oath for a mindful man |
| 89:6 | | Hast thou not seen how thy Lord did with Ad |
| 89:7 | | Iram of the pillars |
| 89:8 | | the like of which was never created in the land |
| 89:9 | | and Thamood, who hollowed the rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | and Pharaoh, he of the tent-pegs |
| 89:11 | | who all were insolent in the lan |
| 89:12 | | and worked much corruption therein |
| 89:13 | | Thy Lord unloosed on them a scourge of chastisement |
| 89:14 | | surely thy Lord is ever on the watch |
| 89:15 | | As for man, whenever his Lord tries him, and honours him, and blesses him, then he says, 'My Lord has honoured me. |
| 89:16 | | But when he tries him and stints for him his provision, then he says, 'My Lord has despised me. |
| 89:17 | | No indeed; but you honour not the orphan |
| 89:18 | | and you urge not the feeding of the needy |
| 89:19 | | and you devour the inheritance greedily |
| 89:20 | | and you love wealth with an ardent lov |
| 89:21 | | No indeed! When the earth is ground to powder |
| 89:22 | | and thy Lord comes, and the angels rank on rank |
| 89:23 | | and Gehenna is brought out, upon that day man will remember; and how shall the Reminder be for him |
| 89:24 | | He shall say, 'O would that I had forwarded for my life! |
| 89:25 | | Upon that day none shall chastise as He chastises |
| 89:26 | | none shall bind as He binds |
| 89:27 | | 'O soul at peace |
| 89:28 | | return unto thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing |
| 89:29 | | Enter thou among My servants |
| 89:30 | | Enter thou My Paradise! |
