O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!

Arise and deliver thy warning!

And thy Lord do thou magnify!

And thy garments keep free from stain!

And all abomination shun!

Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!

But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!

Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,

That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,-

Far from easy for those without Faith.

Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!-

To whom I granted resources in abundance,

And sons to be by his side!-

To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!

Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);-

By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!

Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!

For he thought and he plotted;-

And woe to him! How he plotted!-

Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!-

Then he looked round;

Then he frowned and he scowled;

Then he turned back and was haughty;

Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;

"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"

Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!

And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?

Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-

Darkening and changing the colour of man!

Over it are Nineteen.
