16
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ١٦
I swear by the evening glow,
17
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧
by the night and what it is fraught with,
18
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ١٨

19
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ ١٩
you will surely fare from stage to stage.
20
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠

21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢١
and will not prostrate when the Quran is recited to them?
22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢
Indeed, the faithless impugn [the Apostle],
23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤
So inform them of a painful punishment,
25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ٢٥
excepting such as are faithful and do righteous deeds: for them there will be an everlasting reward.
