39
وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا أَعمالُهُم كَسَرابٍ بِقيعَةٍ يَحسَبُهُ الظَّمآنُ ماءً حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءَهُ لَم يَجِدهُ شَيئًا وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ فَوَفّاهُ حِسابَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَريعُ الحِسابِ

N. J. Dawood

As for the unbelievers, their works are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty traveller thinks it is water, but when he comes near he finds that it is nothing. He finds God there, who pays him back in full. Swift is God’s reckoning.
