وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ ١٨
But made no reservation, ("If it be Allah's Will").
وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ ١٨
But made no reservation, ("If it be Allah's Will").
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.
فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ ٢٠
So the (garden) became, by the morning, like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).
فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحِينَ ٢١
As the morning broke, they called out, one to another,-
أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِينَ ٢٢
"Go ye to your tilth (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits."
