| | Faridul Haque rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | By oath of the (particular) dawn |
| 89:2 | | And by oath of ten nights |
| 89:3 | | And by oath of the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | And by oath of the night when it recede |
| 89:5 | | Why is there an oath in this, for the intelligent |
| 89:6 | | Did you not see how did your Lord deal with (the tribe of) Aad |
| 89:7 | | (And) the tall giants of Iram |
| 89:8 | | Like whom no one else was born in the cities |
| 89:9 | | And the tribe of Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And with Firaun, who used to crucify |
| 89:11 | | Those who rebelled in the cities |
| 89:12 | | And who then spread a lot of turmoil in them |
| 89:13 | | Therefore your Lord struck them hard with the means of punishment |
| 89:14 | | Indeed nothing is hidden from the sight of your Lord |
| 89:15 | | So man, whenever his Lord tests him by giving him honour and favours – thereupon he says, “My Lord has honoured me.&rdquo |
| 89:16 | | And if He tests him and restricts his livelihood – thereupon he says, “My Lord has degraded me!&rdquo |
| 89:17 | | Not at all – but rather you do not honour the orphan |
| 89:18 | | And do not urge one another to feed the needy |
| 89:19 | | And you readily devour the inheritance with greed |
| 89:20 | | And you harbour intense love for wealth |
| 89:21 | | Most certainly - when the earth is smashed and blown to bits |
| 89:22 | | And when the command of your Lord comes – and the angels row by row |
| 89:23 | | And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect, but where is the time now to think |
| 89:24 | | He will say, “Alas – if only I had sent some good deeds ahead, during my lifetime!&rdquo |
| 89:25 | | So on that day, no one punishes like He does |
| 89:26 | | And no one binds like He does |
| 89:27 | | O the contented soul |
| 89:28 | | Return towards your Lord – you being pleased with Him, and He pleased with you |
| 89:29 | | Then enter the ranks of My chosen bondmen |
| 89:30 | | And come into My Paradise |
