فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ ٢٠
So the (garden) became, by the morning, like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).
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."
فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ ٢٣
So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying)-
أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِسْكِينٌ ٢٤
"Let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day."
