M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

20. So it became as black, barren land.

21. And they called out to each other in the morning,

22. Saying: Go early to your tilth if you would cut (the produce).

23. So they went, while they consulted together secretly,

24. Saying: No poor man shall enter it today upon you.

25. And in the morning they went, having the power to prevent.

26. But when they saw it, they said: Most surely we have gone astray.

27. Nay! we are made to suffer privation.

28. The best of them said: Did I not say to you, Why do you not glorify (Allah)?

29. They said: Glory be to our Lord, surely we were unjust.

30. Then some of them advanced against others, blaming each other.

31. Said they: O woe to us! surely we were inordinate:

32. Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it; surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition.

33. Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is greater, did they but know!

34. Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have with their Lord gardens of bliss.
