Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 89 Aya 1 to 30
 
  1   [ 89: 1 ] I swear by the daybreak,
  2   [ 89: 2 ] And the ten nights,
  3   [ 89: 3 ] And the even and the odd,
  4   [ 89: 4 ] And the night when it departs.
  5   [ 89: 5 ] Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
  6   [ 89: 6 ] Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
  7   [ 89: 7 ] ( The people of ) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
  8   [ 89: 8 ] The like of which were not created in the ( other ) cities;
  9   [ 89: 9 ] And ( with ) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
  10   [ 89: 10 ] And ( with ) Firon, the lord of hosts,
  11   [ 89: 11 ] Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
  12   [ 89: 12 ] So they made great mischief therein?
  13   [ 89: 13 ] Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
  14   [ 89: 14 ] Most sure! y your Lord is watching.
  15   [ 89: 15 ] And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.
  16   [ 89: 16 ] But when He tries him ( differently ), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
  17   [ 89: 17 ] Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
  18   [ 89: 18 ] Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
  19   [ 89: 19 ] And you eat away the heritage, devouring ( everything ) indiscriminately,
  20   [ 89: 20 ] And you love wealth with exceeding love.
  21   [ 89: 21 ] Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
  22   [ 89: 22 ] And your Lord comes and ( also ) the angels in ranks,
  23   [ 89: 23 ] And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful ( then ) avail him?
  24   [ 89: 24 ] He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for ( this ) my life!
  25   [ 89: 25 ] But on that day shall no one chastise with ( anything like ) His chastisement,
  26   [ 89: 26 ] And no one shall bind with ( anything like ) His binding.
  27   [ 89: 27 ] O soul that art at rest!
  28   [ 89: 28 ] Return to your Lord, well-pleased ( with him ), well-pleasing ( Him ),
  29   [ 89: 29 ] So enter among My servants,
  30   [ 89: 30 ] And enter into My garden.
