Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them?

And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ

Pickthall

And knew not what my reckoning!
27

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ

Pickthall

Oh, would that it had been death!

Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous,
34

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

Pickthall

And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.
35

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌ

Pickthall

Therefor hath he no lover here this day,
36

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ

Pickthall

Nor any food save filth
37

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ

Pickthall

Which none but sinners eat.
38

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ

Pickthall

And all that ye see not
40

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

Pickthall

That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.
41

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ

It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!
42

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Pickthall

Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!
43

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Pickthall

It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
44

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ

Pickthall

And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,
45

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ

Pickthall

We assuredly had taken him by the right hand
46

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ

Pickthall

And then severed his life-artery,
47

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ

Pickthall

And not one of you could have held Us off from him.
48

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

Pickthall

And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).
49

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).
50

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Pickthall

And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.
51

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Pickthall

And lo! it is absolute truth.

Pickthall

So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.
