| | Ahmed Raza Khan (Barelvi) rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr) --- |
---|
89:1 | | By the Dawn; |
89:2 | | And by the ten nights; |
89:3 | | And by the even and the odds |
89:4 | | And by the night when it departs, |
89:5 | | Is there not in it an oath for man of understanding? |
89:6 | | Have you not seen, what did your Lord with Aad? |
89:7 | | The people of Iram excessively tall, |
89:8 | | The like of whom have not been created in cities. |
89:9 | | And with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley. |
89:10 | | And with Firawn (Pharoah) who pilloried. |
89:11 | | Those who transgressed in the cities. |
89:12 | | And spread mischief therein |
89:13 | | Therefore your Lord let down upon them the whip of torment with force. |
89:14 | | Undoubtedly, nothing is absent from the sight of Your Lord. |
89:15 | | But man, when his Lord tries him and honours him and bestows favour on him, he says, 'my Lord has honoured me'. |
89:16 | | But when He tries him and straitens his livelihood, he says, 'my Lord has disgraced me. |
89:17 | | Not so, but you do not honour the orphan. |
89:18 | | And you urge not one another to feed the poor, |
89:19 | | And devour the heritage of others greedily, |
89:20 | | And you love wealth exceedingly. |
89:21 | | Yes, when the earth is completely broken into pieces. |
89:22 | | And the Command of your Lord comes and also the angels in rows after rows, |
89:23 | | And Hell is brought that day, on that day man will think, but now where is the time for thinking? |
89:24 | | He will say, O would that I had sent forward some good works in my life. |
89:25 | | So on that day none torments any like His torment. |
89:26 | | And nor anyone binds like His binding. |
89:27 | | 'O you peaceful soul.' |
89:28 | | Return to your Lord well pleased with Him, and He well pleased with you. |
89:29 | | So, enter you among My chosen bondmen. |
89:30 | | And come to My Garden |
