68:1   Nun. By the pen and what they write,

68:2   Not you (are), by (the) Grace (of) your Lord, a madman.

68:3   And indeed, for you surely (is) a reward without end.

68:4   And indeed, you surely (are) (of) a moral character great.

68:5   So you will see and they will see,

68:6   Which of you (is) the afflicted one.

68:7   Indeed, your Lord, He (is) most knowing of (he) who has strayed from His way, and He (is) most knowing of the guided ones.

68:8   So (do) not obey the deniers.

68:9   They wish that you should compromise, so they would compromise.

68:10   And (do) not obey every habitual swearer worthless,

68:11   Defamer going about with malicious gossip,

68:12   A preventer, of (the) good, transgressor, sinful,

68:13   Cruel, after (all) that utterly useless.

68:14   Because (he) is a possessor (of) wealth and children,

68:15   When are recited to him Our Verses, he says, "Stories (of) the former (people)."

68:16   We will brand him on the snout.

68:17   Indeed, We have tried them as We tried (the) companions (of) the garden, when they swore to pluck its fruit (in the) morning,

68:18   And not making exception.

68:19   So there came upon it a visitation from your Lord, while they were asleep.

68:20   So it became as if reaped.

68:21   And they called one another (at) morning,

68:22   That "Go early to your crop if you would pluck (the) fruit."

68:23   So they went, while they lowered (their) voices,

68:24   That "Not will enter it today upon you any poor person."

68:25   And they went early with determination able.

68:26   But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we (are) surely lost.

68:27   Nay! We (are) deprived."

68:28   Said (the) most moderate of them, "Did not I tell you, 'Why not you glorify (Allah)?'"

68:29   They said, "Glory be (to) our Lord! Indeed, we [we] were wrongdoers."

68:30   Then approached, some of them to others blaming each other.

68:31   They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we [we] were transgressors.

68:32   Perhaps, our Lord, [that] will substitute for us a better than it. Indeed, we to our Lord turn devoutly."

68:33   Such (is) the punishment. And surely the punishment (of) the Hereafter (is) greater, if they know.

68:34   Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord (are) Gardens (of) Delight.

68:35   Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

68:36   What (is) for you? How (do) you judge?

68:37   Or (is) for you a book wherein you learn,

68:38   Indeed for you in it what you choose?

68:39   Or for you oaths from us, reaching to (the) Day (of) the Resurrection, indeed, for you (is) what you judge?

68:40   Ask them, which of them for that (is) responsible.

68:41   Or (are) for them partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they are truthful.

68:42   (The) Day will be uncovered from the shin and they will be called to prostrate, but not they will be able,

68:43   Humbled, their eyes, will cover them humiliation. And indeed, they were called to prostrate while they (were) sound.

68:44   So leave Me and whoever denies this Statement, We will progressively lead them from where not they know.

68:45   And I will give respite to them. Indeed, My plan (is) firm.

68:46   Or you ask them a payment, so they from (the) debt (are) burdened?

68:47   Or (is) with them the unseen, so they write it?

68:48   So be patient for (the) decision (of) your Lord, and (do) not be like (the) companion (of) the fish, when he called out, while he (was) distressed.

68:49   If not that overtook him a Favor from his Lord, surely he would have been thrown onto (the) naked shore while he (was) blamed.

68:50   But chose him, his Lord, and made him of the righteous.

68:51   And indeed, would almost those who disbelieve, surely make you slip with their look when they hear the Message, and they say, "Indeed, he (is) surely mad."

68:52   And not it (is) but a Reminder to the worlds.
