Sura 26: AL-SHUARA (THE POETS) - Juz' 19 - Translation Shakir

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ ﴿۱۹۸﴾
And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners (198)
فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۹۹﴾
So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein (199)
كَذَلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۲۰۰﴾
Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty (200)
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ ﴿۲۰۱﴾
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment (201)
فَيَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿۲۰۲﴾
And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive; (202)
فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنْظَرُونَ ﴿۲۰۳﴾
Then they will say: Shall we be respited? (203)
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿۲۰۴﴾
What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment? (204)
أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ ﴿۲۰۵﴾
Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years, (205)
ثُمَّ جَاءَهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ﴿۲۰۶﴾
Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened, (206)
مَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ ﴿۲۰۷﴾
That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them? (207)
