Every soul draws the meed
Of its acts on none
But itself: no bearer
Of burdens can bear
The burden of another.

Who receiveth guidance,
Receiveth it for his own
Benefit: who goeth astray
Doth so to his own loss:
No bearer of burdens
Can bear the burden
Of another ..

Nor can a bearer of burdens
Bear another's burden.

If ye reject (Allah),
Truly Allah has no need
Of you; but He liketh not
Ingratitude from His servants:
If ye are grateful, He
Is pleased with you.
No bearer of burdens
Can bear the burden
Of another. In the End,
To your Lord is your Return,
When He will tell you
The truth of all
That ye did (in this life).
For He knoweth well
All that is in (men's) hearts.
