Sura 68: AL-QALAM (THE PEN) - Juz' 29 - Translation Pickthall

فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿۲۱﴾
And they cried out one unto another in the morning, (21)
أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَى حَرْثِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِينَ ﴿۲۲﴾
Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit). (22)
فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ ﴿۲۳﴾
So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones: (23)
أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِسْكِينٌ ﴿۲۴﴾
No needy man shall enter it to-day against you. (24)
وَغَدَوْا عَلَى حَرْدٍ قَادِرِينَ ﴿۲۵﴾
They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose. (25)
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error! (26)
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
Nay, but we are desolate! (27)
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿۲۸﴾
The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)? (28)
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers. (29)
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ ﴿۳۰﴾
Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching. (30)
