| 89:1 | | By the Daw |
| 89:2 | | And ten nights |
| 89:3 | | And the Even and the Odd |
| 89:4 | | And the night when it departeth |
| 89:5 | | There surely is an oath for thinking man |
| 89:6 | | Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad |
| 89:7 | | With many-columned Iram |
| 89:8 | | The like of which was not created in the lands |
| 89:9 | | And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And with Pharaoh, firm of might |
| 89:11 | | Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands |
| 89:12 | | And multiplied iniquity therein |
| 89:13 | | Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment |
| 89:14 | | Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful |
| 89:15 | | As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me |
| 89:16 | | But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me |
| 89:17 | | Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orpha |
| 89:18 | | And urge not on the feeding of the poor |
| 89:19 | | And ye devour heritages with devouring greed |
| 89:20 | | And love wealth with abounding love |
| 89:21 | | Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding |
| 89:22 | | And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank |
| 89:23 | | And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) |
| 89:24 | | He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life |
| 89:25 | | None punisheth as He will punish on that day |
| 89:26 | | None bindeth as He then will bind |
| 89:27 | | But ah! thou soul at peace |
| 89:28 | | Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure |
| 89:29 | | Enter thou among My bondmen |
| 89:30 | | Enter thou My Garden |
