O you enveloped in your cloak!

Arise, and warn,

and magnify the glory of your Lord,

and purify your robes,

and shun uncleanness,

and bestow not favour in order to seek from others a greater return,

and persevere for your Lord's sake.

When the Trumpet shall be sounded,

that will surely be a hard day,

not an easy day for the unbelievers.

Leave Me with him whom I alone have created,

whom I have endowed with abundant riches,

and sons ever present with him,

and for whom I have smoothed the way (to power and riches),

and who still greedily desires that I should bestow upon him more.

By no means; he is stubbornly opposed to Our Signs.

I shall soon constrain him to a hard ascent.

He reflected and then hatched a scheme.

Ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme?

Again, ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme?

He looked (at others);

then frowned and scowled;

then he retreated and waxed proud,

and said: “This (Qur'an) is merely a sorcery of yore;

this is nothing but the word of a mere mortal!”

Him shall I soon roast in Hell.

And what do you know what Hell is?

It spares nothing; it leaves nothing intact;

it scorches (even) the skin.

Over it are nineteen keepers.
