52:1 I CALL TO witness the Mount Sinai

52:2 And the Scripture inscribe

52:3 On a parchment scroll unrolled

52:4 The house ever-peopled

52:5 The roof raised high

52:6 And the swollen sea

52:7 The punishment of your Lord is certain to come

52:8 There is none who could avert it

52:9 The day the sky will tremble

52:10 The mountains move and fly away

52:11 Will be the day of woe for thos

52:12 Who, ignoring the Reality, engage in pleasantries

52:13 The day they are dragged and pushed into Hell

52:14 (And told:) "This is the fire which you denied

52:15 Is it magic, or you cannot see

52:16 Roast in it. Bear it with patience or impatience, it will be the same for you. You will be requited for what you had done."

52:17 Those who fear God and follow the straight path will surely be in gardens and in bliss

52:18 Rejoicing at what their Lord has given them; and their Lord will preserve them from the torment of Hell

52:19 "Eat and drink with relish," (they will be told), (as recompense) for what you had done."

52:20 They would recline on couches set in rows, paired with fair companions (clean of thought and) bright of eye

52:21 And those who believed, and whose progeny also followed them in their faith, will be united with their offspring. We will not deprive them of their labour in the least. Every man is bound to what he does

52:22 We shall give them fruits and meats, and what they desire

52:23 They will exchange cups of wine free of (incitement to) pleasantry or sin

52:24 And young attendants like pearls within their shells, will go round

52:25 They will ask each other questions

52:26 Saying: "We were also once full of fear at home

52:27 But God has been gracious to us, and has saved us from the torment of scorching wind

52:28 We used to pray to Him erstwhile; He is the just and merciful

52:29 Remind them, therefore, that by the grace of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer nor possessed

52:30 Do they say: "He is a poet for whom we expect an adverse turn of fortune?"

52:31 Tell them: "Keep on expecting, I am expecting with you."

52:32 Does their reasoning prompt them to this, or they are a people rebellious

52:33 Or do they say: "He has fabricated it?" In fact, they will never believe

52:34 So let them bring a discourse like it, if they are truthfu

52:35 Or were they created of themselves? Or are they the creators

52:36 Or have they created the heavens and the earth? In fact they are certain of nothing

52:37 Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the treasurers

52:38 Or do they have a ladder (climbing which) they can hear (the secrets of heaven)? Let one who has heard then bring a clear proof

52:39 Has (God) daughters and they sons

52:40 Or do you demand any wages from them so that they are burdened with expense

52:41 Or do they have knowledge of the Unknown which they write down

52:42 Or do they want to stage a deception? -- Then only those who do not believe will be the ones who will be tricked

52:43 Or do they have a god apart from God? He is too exalted for what they associate with Him

52:44 If they should see a segment falling from the sky, they would say: "It is only a massive cloud."

52:45 So, leave them until they face their day (of doom) when they will be stunned

52:46 Their deception will not avail them in the least on that day, nor will they be helped

52:47 Surely there are other torments besides this for those who are wicked, though most of them do not know

52:48 Await the judgement of your Lord, for you are always before Our eyes, and glorify your Lord with praises when you rise

52:49 And glorify Him in the night and when the stars begin to wane
