| 76:1 | | Does there not come on man a portion of time when he is nothing worth mentioning |
| 76:2 | | Verily, We created man from a mingled clot, to try him; and we gave him hearing and sight |
| 76:3 | | Verily, we guided him in the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful |
| 76:4 | | Verily, we have prepared for those who misbelieve chains and fetters and a blaze |
| 76:5 | | Verily, the righteous shall drink of a cup tempered with Kafur |
| 76:6 | | a spring from which God's servants shall drink and make it gush out as they please |
| 76:7 | | They who fulfill their vows, and fear a day, the evil which shall fly abroad |
| 76:8 | | and who give food for His love to the poor and the orphan and the captive |
| 76:9 | | 'We only feed you for God's sake; we desire not from you either reward or thanks |
| 76:10 | | we fear from our Lord a frowning, calamitous day! |
| 76:11 | | And God will guard them from the evil of that day and will cast on them brightness and joy |
| 76:12 | | and their reward for their patience shall be Paradise and silk |
| 76:13 | | reclining therein upon couches they shall neither see therein sun nor piercing cold |
| 76:14 | | and close down upon them shall be its shadows; and lowered over them its fruits to cull |
| 76:15 | | and they shall be served round with vessels of silver and goblets that are as flagons |
| 76:16 | | flagons of silver which they shall mete out |
| 76:17 | | and they shall drink therein a cup tempered with Zingabil |
| 76:18 | | a spring therein named Silsabil |
| 76:19 | | and there shall go round about them eternal boys; when thou seest them thou wilt think them scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | and when thou seest them thou shalt see pleasure and a great estate |
| 76:21 | | On them shall be garments of green embroidered satin and brocade; and they shall be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord shall give them to drink pure drink |
| 76:22 | | Verily, this is a reward for you, and your efforts are thanked |
| 76:23 | | Verily, we have sent down upon thee the Qur'an |
| 76:24 | | Wherefore wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not any sinner or misbeliever amongst them |
| 76:25 | | But remember the name of thy Lord morning, and evening |
| 76:26 | | and through the night, and adore Him, and celebrate His praises the whole night long |
| 76:27 | | Verily, these love the transitory life, and leave behind them a heavy day |
| 76:28 | | We created them and strengthened their joints; and if we please we can exchange for the likes of them in their stead |
| 76:29 | | Verily, this is a memorial, and whoso will, let him take unto his Lord a way |
| 76:30 | | But ye will not please except God please! Verily, God is knowing, wise |
| 76:31 | | He makes whomsoever He pleases to enter into His mercy; but the unjust He has prepared for them a grievous woe |
