أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ
Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away,
وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ
And gave a little, then was grudging?
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth?
أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses
وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ
And Abraham who paid his debt:
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ
That no laden one shall bear another's load,
وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,
وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ
And that his effort will be seen.
ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ
And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment;
وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ
And that thy Lord, He is the goal;
