- "Then will ye truly o ye that go wrong and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!
- "Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.
- "Then will ye fill your insides therewith
- "And drink Boiling Water on top of it:
- "Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!
- Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!
- It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?
- Do ye then see? The (human seed) that ye throw out,
- Is it ye who create it or are We the Creators?
- We have decreed Death to be your common lot and We are not to be frustrated
- From changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (Forms) that ye know not.
- And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
- See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?
- Is it ye that cause it to grow or are We the Cause?
- Were it Our Will we could crumble it to dry powder and ye would be left in wonderment
- (Saying) "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):
- "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labor)."
- See ye the water which ye drink?
- Do ye bring it Down (in rain) from the Cloud or do We?
- Were it Our Will We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
- See ye the Fire which ye kindle?
- Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire or do We grow it?
- We have made it a memorial (of our handiwork) and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.
- Then celebrate with praises the name of the Lord the Supreme:
- Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars
