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

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ ﴿۴۱﴾
Or have they some "Partners" (in Allahhead)? Then let them produce their "partners", if they are truthful! (41)
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿۴۲﴾
The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,- (42)
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ وَقَدْ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ ﴿۴۳﴾
Their eyes will be cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused). (43)
فَذَرْنِي وَمَنْ يُكَذِّبُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۴۴﴾
Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not. (44)
وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ ﴿۴۵﴾
A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan. (45)
أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَ ﴿۴۶﴾
Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?- (46)
أَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ﴿۴۷﴾
Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down? (47)
فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ ﴿۴۸﴾
So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony. (48)
لَوْلَا أَنْ تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ ﴿۴۹﴾
Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace. (49)
فَاجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿۵۰﴾
Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous. (50)
