27.
Wama khalaqna aLssamaa waAl-arda wama baynahuma batilan thalika "th"annu allatheena kafaroo fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo mina aLnnarI

27.
Not without purpose did We

Create heaven and earth

And all between! That

Were the thought of Unbelievers!

But woe to the Unbelievers

Because of the Fire (of Hell)!

28.
Am najAAalu allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo aLssalihati kaAlmufsideena fee al-ardi am najAAalu almuttaqeena kaAlfujjarI

28.
Shall We treat those

Who believe and work deeds

Of righteousness, the same

As those who do mischief

On earth? Shall We treat

Those who guard against evil,

The same as those who

Turn aside from the right?

29.
Kitabun anzalnahu ilayka mubarakun liyaddabbaroo ayatihi waliyatathakkara oloo al-albabI

29.
(Here is) a Book which

We have sent down

Unto thee, full of blessings,

That they may meditate

On its Signs, and that

Men of understanding may

Receive admonition.

30.
Wawahabna lidawooda sulaymana niAAma alAAabdu innahu awwabUn

30.
To David We gave

Solomon (for a son),--

How excellent in Our service!

Ever did he turn (to Us)!

31.
Ith AAurida AAalayhi biAlAAashiyyi aLssafinatu aljiyadU

31.
Behold, there were brought

Before him, at eventide,

Coursers of the highest breeding,

And swift of foot;

32.
Faqala innee ahbabtu hubba alkhayri AAan thikri rabbee hatta tawarat biAlhijabI

32.
And he said, "Truly

Do I love the love

Of Good, with a view

To the glory of my Lord,
"--

Until (the sun) was hidden

In the veil (of Night):


33.
Ruddooha AAalayya fatafiqa mashan biALssooqi waAl-aAAnaqI

33.
\"Bring them back to me."

Then began he to pass

His hand over (their) legs

And their necks.

34.
Walaqad fatanna sulaymana waalqayna AAala kursiyyihi jasadan thumma anabA

34.
And We did try

Solomon: We placed

On his throne a body

(Without life): but he did turn

(To Us in true devotion):

35.
Qala rabbi ighfir lee wahab lee mulkan la yanbaghee li-ahadin min baAAdee innaka anta alwahhabU

35.
He said, "O my Lord!

Forgive me, and grant me

A Kingdom which,

(It may be), suits not

Another after me:

For Thou art the Grantor

Of Bounties (without measure).

36.
Fasakhkharna lahu aLrreeha tajree bi-amrihi rukhaan haythu asabA

36.
Then We subjected the Wind

To his power, to flow

Gently to his order,

Whithersoever he willed,--

37.
WaALshshayateena kulla banna-in waghawwasIn

37.
As also the evil ones,

(Including) every kind

Of builder and diver,--

38.
Waakhareena muqarraneena fee al-asfadI

38.
As also others bound

Together in fetters.

39.
Hatha AAataona faOmnun aw amsik bighayri hisabIn

39. \"Such are Our Bounties:


Whether thou bestow them

(On others) or withhold them,

No account will be asked."

40. Wa-inna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maabIn

40.
And he enjoyed, indeed,

A Near Approach to Us,

And a beautiful Place

Of (final) Return.
