| 55:4 | | and He has taught him the Explanation |
| 55:5 | | The sun and the moon to a reckoning |
| 55:6 | | and the stars and the trees bow themselves |
| 55:7 | | and heaven -- He raised it up, and set the Balance |
| 55:8 | | (Transgress not in the Balance |
| 55:9 | | and weigh with justice, and skimp not in the Balance. |
| 55:10 | | And earth -- He set it down for all beings |
| 55:11 | | therein fruits, and palm-trees with sheaths |
| 55:12 | | and grain in the blade, and fragrant herbs |
| 55:13 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:14 | | He created man of a clay like the potter's |
| 55:15 | | and He created the jinn of a smokeless fire |
| 55:16 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:17 | | Lord of the Two Easts, Lord of the Two Wests |
| 55:18 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |

| 55:20 | | between them a barrier they do not overpass |
| 55:21 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:22 | | From them come forth the pearl and the coral |
| 55:23 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:24 | | His too are the ships that run, raised up in the sea like land-marks |
| 55:25 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |

| 55:36 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:37 | | And when heaven is split asunder, and turns crimson like red leather - |
| 55:38 | | O which of our Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:39 | | on that day none shall be questioned about his sin, neither man nor jinn |

| 55:41 | | The sinners shall be known by their mark, and they shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet |
| 55:42 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:43 | | This is Gehenna, that sinners cried lies to |
| 55:44 | | they shall go round between it and between hot, boiling water |
| 55:45 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:46 | | But such as fears the Station of his Lord, for them shall be two gardens - |
| 55:47 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:48 | | abounding in branches - |
| 55:49 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:50 | | therein two fountains of running water - |
| 55:51 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:52 | | therein of every fruit two kinds - |
| 55:53 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:54 | | reclining upon couches lined with brocade, the fruits of the gardens nigh to gather - |
| 55:55 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:56 | | therein maidens restraining their glances, untouched before them by any man or jinn - |
| 55:57 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:58 | | lovely as rubies, beautiful as coral - |
| 55:59 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:60 | | Shall the recompense of goodness be other than goodness |
| 55:61 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:62 | | And besides these shall be two gardens - |
| 55:63 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:64 | | green, green pastures - |
| 55:65 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:66 | | therein two fountains of gushing water - |
| 55:67 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:68 | | therein fruits, and palm-trees, and pomegranates - |
| 55:69 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:70 | | therein maidens good and comely - |
| 55:71 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:72 | | houris, cloistered in cool pavilions - |
| 55:73 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:74 | | untouched before them by any man or jinn - |
| 55:75 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
| 55:76 | | reclining upon green cushions and lovely druggets - |
| 55:77 | | O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny |
