15 (Set down) by scribes
16 Noble and righteous.
17 Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful!
18 From what thing doth He create him?
19 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
20 Then maketh the way easy for him,
21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
22 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
23 Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
24 Let man consider his food:
25 How We pour water in showers
26 Then split the earth in clefts
27 And cause the grain to grow therein
28 And grapes and green fodder
29 And olive-trees and palm-trees
30 And garden-closes of thick foliage
31 And fruits and grasses:
32 Provision for you and your cattle.
33 But when the Shout cometh
34 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
35 And his mother and his father
36 And his wife and his children,
37 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
40 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
41 Veiled in darkness,
42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
