Verses: 29
1 | When the sun shall be darkened, | |
2 | when the stars shall be thrown down, | |
3 | when the mountains shall be set moving, | |
4 | when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, | |
5 | when the savage beasts shall be mustered, | |
6 | when the seas shall be set boiling, | |
7 | when the souls shall be coupled, | |
8 | when the buried infant shall be asked | |
9 | for what sin she was slain, | |
10 | when the scrolls shall be unrolled, | |
11 | when heaven shall be stripped off; | |
12 | when Hell shall be set blazing, | |
13 | when Paradise shall be brought nigh, | |
14 | then shall a soul know what it has produced. | |
15 | No! I swear by the slinkers, | |
16 | the runners, the sinkers, | |
17 | by the night swarming, | |
18 | by the dawn sighing, | |
19 | truly this is the word of a noble Messenger | |
20 | having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, | |
21 | obeyed, moreover trusty. | |
22 | Your companion is not possessed; | |
23 | he truly saw him on the clear horizon; | |
24 | he is not niggardly of the Unseen. | |
25 | And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; | |
26 | where then are you going? | |
27 | It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, | |
28 | for whosoever of you who would go straight; | |
29 | but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. |
