وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

And (with) Fir'aun (Pharaoh), who had pegs (who used to torture men by binding them to pegs)?


ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ

Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah).


فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ

And made therein much mischief.


فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ

So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment.


إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ

Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them).


فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ

As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My Lord has honoured me."


وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ

But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"


كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ

Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right of inheritance)!
