سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ ١٦
Soon shall We brand (the beast) on the snout!
68:17
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَاهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ ١٧
Verily We have tried them as We tried the People of the Garden, when they resolved to gather the fruits of the (garden) in the morning.
68:18
وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ ١٨
But made no reservation, ("If it be Allah's Will").
68:19
فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ ١٩
Then there came on the (garden) a visitation from thy Lord, (which swept away) all around, while they were asleep.
68:20
فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ ٢٠
So the (garden) became, by the morning, like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).
