And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, 49. (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich). 50. And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. 51. A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade 52. Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)? 53.

He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin, 57. And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom). 58. Are we then not to die 59.
