أَفَبِعَذابِنا يَستَعجِلونَ
Are they trying to expedite Our punishment?
أَفَرَأَيتَ إِن مَتَّعناهُم سِنينَ
Consider this: even if We were to grant them enjoyment for years.
ثُمَّ جاءَهُم ما كانوا يوعَدونَ
Then, what they were promised will come upon them.
ما أَغنىٰ عَنهُم ما كانوا يُمَتَّعونَ
All their enjoyed comforts won’t avail them.
وَما أَهلَكنا مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا لَها مُنذِرونَ
Never did We destroy a town, but it had its warners.
وَما تَنَزَّلَت بِهِ الشَّياطينُ
It is not revealed by the devils.
وَما يَنبَغي لَهُم وَما يَستَطيعونَ
It is neither in their interest nor within their power.
إِنَّهُم عَنِ السَّمعِ لَمَعزولونَ
They are barred from hearing.
فَلا تَدعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلـٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبينَ
So don’t call upon any other god with God, lest you be among the tormented.
وَأَنذِر عَشيرَتَكَ الأَقرَبينَ
And warn your close kin.
