(4) Wallaili izaa yasr
And by the Night when it passeth away;
(5) Hal fee zaalika qasamul lizee hijr
Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?

The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?

Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."

Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,
(22) Wa jaaa'a Rabbuka wal malaku saffan saffaa
And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,
(23) Wa jeee'a yawma'izim bi jahannnam; Yawma 'iziny yatazakkarul insaanu wa annaa lahuz zikraa
