Order of Revelation: 38فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّيحَ تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَاءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ
Fasakhkharna lahu alrreeha tajree bi-amrihi rukhaan haythu asaba
Then We subjected to him the wind to flow by his command, gently, wherever he directed,
And so We made subservient to him the wind, so that it gently sped at his behest whithersoever he willed,
Then We subjected the wind to his power, to flow gently to his order, Whithersoever he willed,-
So We made the wind subservient unto him, setting fair by his command whithersoever he intended.
So We made the wind subservient to him; it made his command to run gently wherever he desired,
So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed,
وَالشَّيَاطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّاءٍ وَغَوَّاصٍ
Waalshshayateena kulla banna-in waghawwasin
And the devils, every builder and diver,
as well as all the rebellious forces [that We made to work for him] - every kind of builder and diver -
As also the evil ones, (including) every kind of builder and diver,-
And the unruly, every builder and diver (made We subservient),
And the devils, every builder and diver,
And [also] the devils [of jinn] - every builder and diver
وَآخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِي الْأَصْفَادِ
Waakhareena muqarraneena fee al-asfadi
And others bound in chains.
and others linked together in fetters.
As also others bound together in fetters.
And others linked together in chains,
And others fettered in chains.
And others bound together in shackles.
هَٰذَا عَطَاؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

"This (is) Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."
[And We told him:] This is Our gift, for thee to bestow freely on others, or to withhold, without [having to render] account!"

(Saying): This is Our gift, so bestow thou, or withhold, without reckoning.
This is Our free gift, so give freely or withhold, without reckoning.
[We said], "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."
وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ
Wa-inna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maabin
