| 89:1 | | By the break of Da |
| 89:2 | | By the Nights twice five |
| 89:3 | | By the even and odd (contrasted) |
| 89:4 | | And by the Night when it passeth away; |
| 89:5 | | Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand |
| 89:6 | | Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people), |
| 89:7 | | Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars |
| 89:8 | | The like of which were not produced in (all) the land |
| 89:9 | | And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley? |
| 89:10 | | And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes |
| 89:11 | | (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands |
| 89:12 | | And heaped therein mischief (on mischief) |
| 89:13 | | Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements |
| 89:14 | | For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower |
| 89:15 | | Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me." |
| 89:16 | | But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!" |
| 89:17 | | Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans |
| 89:18 | | Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor! |
| 89:19 | | And ye devour inheritance - all with greed |
| 89:20 | | And ye love wealth with inordinate love |
| 89:21 | | Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder |
| 89:22 | | And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank |
| 89:23 | | And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him |
| 89:24 | | He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!" |
| 89:25 | | For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict |
| 89:26 | | And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind |
| 89:27 | | (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction |
| 89:28 | | "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him |
| 89:29 | | "Enter thou, then, among My devotees |
| 89:30 | | "Yea, enter thou My Heaven |
