As the morning broke, they called out, one to another,- (۲۱)

"Go ye to your tilth (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits." (۲۲)

So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying)- (۲۳)

"Let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day." (۲۴)

And they opened the morning, strong in an (unjust) resolve. (۲۵)

But when they saw the (garden), they said: "We have surely lost our way: (۲۶)

"Indeed we are shut out (of the fruits of our labour)!" (۲۷)

Said one of them, more just (than the rest): "Did I not say to you, 'Why not glorify (Allah)?'" (۲۸)

They said: "Glory to our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong!" (۲۹)

Then they turned, one against another, in reproach. (۳۰)
