The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali… (1920)
“ Pharaoh, the lord of hosts, 11 Who exceeded limits in the cities, 12 And made great mischief there-in? 13 So thy Lord poured on them a portion of chastisement. 14 Surely thy Lord is Watchful; 15 As for man, when his Lord tries him, then gives him honour and favours him, he says: My Lord honours me. 16 But when He tries him, then straitens to him his subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me. 17 Nay, but you honour not the orphan, 18 Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, 19 And you devour heritage, devouring all, 20 And you love wealth with exceeding love. ”
