You have known the first formation if only you would remember .

You are well aware of the first creation then , do you learn no lesson from it ?

And verily ye know the first creation . Why , then , do ye not reflect ?

Certainly you have known the first genesis , then why do you not take admonition ?

You have surely known of the first creation . Why then , will you not remember !

And you have already known the first creation , so will you not remember ?

You certainly knew about ( your ) first development . Why do you not take heed ?

And certainly you know the first growth , why do you not then mind ?

You have certainly known the first creation . Why , then , do you not take heed ?

Say O Lord , if I am made to see what has been promised them ,

What made you think that he will not grow in virtue ,

Pray , My Lord ! If You show me the promise they are given ,

And what do you know , he may be of the pure !

Say ' O my Lord , if Thou shouldst show me that they are promised ,

And what should teach thee ? Perchance he would cleanse him ,

Say thou my Lord ! if Thou wilt shew me that wherewith they are threatened .

How canst thou know , whether haply he might be cleansed ,

Say ( O Muhammad SAW ) My Lord ! If You would show me that with which they are threatened ( torment ) ,

But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure ( from sins ) ?

Say , My Lord , if You would show me what they are promised .

But how do you know ? Perhaps he was seeking to purify himself .

Pray , ( O Muhammad ) My Lord , if You should bring the scourge of which they had been warned in my presence ,

How could you know ? Perhaps he would cleanse himself ,

Say My Lord ! If Thou shouldst show me that which they are promised .

What could inform thee but that he might grow ( in grace )

Say , My Lord ! If You should show me what they are promised ,

And how do you know , maybe he would purify himself ,

Say ' Lord , if You should show me that which they are promised ,

And what could let you know ? Perhaps he ( comes to hear you ) to be purified .

Say , O Muhammad , My Lord , if You should show me that which they are promised ,

But what would make you perceive , O Muhammad , that perhaps he might be purified

Say , Lord , if you will afflict them with punishment ,

You never know . Perhaps he wanted to purify himself ,

Say O my Lord ! if Thou shouldst make me see what they are threatened with

And what would make you know that he would purify himself ,

Pray , Lord , if you would show me that the punishment of which they have been warned ,

for how can you know that he might seek to purify himself ,

Say O my Lord ! if Thou wilt show me ( in my lifetime ) that which they are warned against ,

But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow ( in spiritual understanding ) ?
