1 . Ya Sin .
2 . By the wise Quran ,
3 . Lo! thou art of those sent
4 . On a straight path ,
5 . A revelation of the Mighty , the Merciful ,
6 . That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned , so they are heedless .
7 . Already hath the word proved true of most of them , for they believe not .
8 . Lo! we have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins , so that they are made stiff necked .
9 . And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them , and ( thus ) have covered them so that they see not .
10 . Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not , it is alike for them , for they believe not .
11 . Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret . To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward .
12 . Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life . We record that which they send before ( them ) , and their footprints . And all things We have kept in a clear register .
13 . Coin for them a similitude : The people of the city when those sent ( from Allah ) came unto them ;
14 . When We sent unto them twain , and they denied them both , so We reinforced them with a third , and they said ; Lo! we have been sent unto you .
15 . They said : Ye are but mortals like unto us . The Beneficent hath naught revealed . Ye do but lie!
16 . They answered : Our lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you ,
17 . And our duty is but plain conveyance ( of the message ) .
18 . ( The people of the city ) said : We augur ill of you . If ye desist not , we shall surely stone you , and grievous torture will befall you at our hands .
19 . They said : Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded ( of the truth ) ? Nay , but ye are froward folk?
20 . And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running . He cried : O my people! Follow those who have been sent!
21 . Follow those who ask of you no fee , and who are rightly guided .
22 . For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me , and unto Whom ye will be brought back?
23 . Shall I take ( other ) gods in place of Him when , if the Beneficent should wish me any harm , their intercession will avail me naught , nor can they save?
24 . Then truly I should be in error manifest .
25 . Lo! I have believed in your Lord , so hear met
26 . It was said ( unto him ) : Enter Paradise . He said : Would that my people knew
27 . With what ( munificence ) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honored ones!
28 . We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven , nor do We ever send .
29 . It was but one Shout , and lo! they were extinct .
30 . Ah , the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him!
31 . Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them , which Indeed return not unto them ;
32 . But all , without exception , will be brought before Us .
33 . A token unto them is the dead earth . We revive it , and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof ;
34 . And We have placed therein gardens of the date palm and grapes , and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein .
35 . That they may eat of the fruit thereof , and their hand made it not . Will they not , then , give thanks?
36 . Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs , of that which the earth groweth , and of themselves , and of that which they know not!
37 . A token unto them is night . We strip it of the day , and lo! they are in darkness .
38 . And the sun runneth on unto a resting place for him . That is the measuring of the Mighty , the Wise .
39 . And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm leaf .
40 . It is not for the sun to overtake the moon , nor doth the night outstrip the day . They float each in an orbit .
41 . And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship ,
42 . And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride .
43 . And if We will , We drown them , and there is no help for them , neither can they be saved ;
44 . Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while .
45 . When it is said unto them : Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you , that haply ye may find mercy ( they are heedless ) .
46 . Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them , but they did turn away from it!
47 . And when it is said unto them : Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you . those who disbelieve say unto those who believe : Shall we feed those whom Allah , if He willed , would feed? Ye are in naught else than error manifest .
48 . And they say : When will this promise be fulfilled , if ye are truthful?
49 . They await but one Shout , which will surprise them while they are disputing .
50 . Then they cannot make bequest , nor can they return to their own folk .
51 . And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord ,
52 . Crying : Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep? This is that which the Beneficent did promise , and the messengers spoke truth ,
53 . It is but one Shout , and behold them brought together before Us!
54 . This day no soul is wronged in aught ; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do .
55 . Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed ,
56 . They and their wives , in pleasant shade , on thrones reclining ;
57 . Theirs the fruit ( of their good deeds ) and theirs ( all ) that they ask ;
58 . The word from a Merciful Lord ( for them ) is : Peace!
59 . But avaunt ye , O ye guilty , this day!
60 . Did I not charge you , O ye sons of Adam , that ye worship not the devil Lo! he is your open foe!
61 . But that ye worship Me? That was the right path .
62 . Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude . Had ye then no sense?
63 . This is hell which ye were promised ( if ye followed him ) .
64 . Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved .
65 . This day We seal up mouths , and hands speak out and feet bear witness as to what they used to earn .
66 . And had We willed , We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way . Then how could they have seen?
67 . And had We willed , We verily could have fixed them in their place , making them powerless to go forward or turn back .
68 . He whom We bring unto old age , We reverse him in creation ( making him go back to weakness after strength ) . Have ye then no sense?
69 . And we have not taught him ( Muhammad ) poetry , nor is it meet for him . This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain ,
70 . To warn whosoever liveth , and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers .
71 . Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle , so that they are their owners ,
72 . And have subdued them unto them , so that some of them they have for riding , some for food?
73 . Benefits and ( divers ) drinks have they from them . Will they not then give thanks?
74 . And they have taken ( other ) gods beside Allah , in order that they may be helped .
75 . It is not in their power to help them ; but they ( the worshippers ) are unto them a host in arms .
76 . So let not their speech grieve thee ( O Muhammad ) . Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim .
77 . Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent .
78 . And he hath coined for Us a similitude , and hath forgotten the fact of his creation , saying : Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away?
79 . Say : He will revive them Who produced them at the first , for He is Knower of every creation ,
80 . Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree , and behold! ye kindle from it .
81 . Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye , that He is! for He is the All Wise Creator ,
82 . But His command , when He intendeth a thing , is only that he saith unto it : Be! and it is .
83 . Therefor glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back .
