Verses: 46
1 | By those that pluck out vehemently | |
2 | and those that draw out violently, | |
3 | by those that swim serenely | |
4 | and those that outstrip suddenly | |
5 | by those that direct an affair! | |
6 | Upon the day when the first blast shivers | |
7 | and the second blast follows it, | |
8 | hearts upon that day shall be athrob | |
9 | and their eyes shall be humbled. | |
10 | They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? | |
11 | What, when we are bones old and wasted?' | |
12 | They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' | |
13 | But it shall be only a single scare, | |
14 | and behold, they are awakened. | |
15 | Hast thou received the story of Moses? | |
16 | When his Lord called to him in the holy valley, Towa: | |
17 | 'Go to Pharaoh; he has waxed insolent. | |
18 | And say, "Hast thou the will to purify thyself; | |
19 | and that I should guide thee to thy Lord, then thou shalt fear?"' | |
20 | So he showed him the great sign, | |
21 | but he cried lies, and rebelled, | |
22 | then he turned away hastily, | |
23 | then he mustered | |
24 | and proclaimed, and he said, 'I am your Lord, the Most High!' | |
25 | So God seized him with the chastisement of the Last World and the First. | |
26 | Surely in that is a lesson for him who fears! | |
27 | What, are you stronger in constitution or the heaven He built? | |
28 | He lifted up its vault, and levelled it, | |
29 | and darkened its night, and brought forth its forenoon; | |
30 | and the earth-after that He spread it out, | |
31 | therefrom brought forth its waters and its pastures, | |
32 | and the mountains He set firm, | |
33 | an enjoyment for you and your flocks. | |
34 | Then, when the Great Catastrophe comes | |
35 | upon the day when man shall remember what he has striven, | |
36 | and Hell is advanced for whoever sees, | |
37 | then as for him who was insolent | |
38 | and preferred the present life, | |
39 | surely Hell shall be the refuge. | |
40 | But as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and forbade the soul its caprice, | |
41 | surely Paradise shall be the refuge. | |
42 | They will question thee concerning the Hour, when it shall berth. | |
43 | What art thou about, to mention it? | |
44 | Unto thy Lord is the final end of it. | |
45 | Thou art only the warner of him who fears it. | |
46 | It shall be as if; on the day they see it, they have but tarried for an evening, or its forenoon. |
