1. |
When the sun is covered,
|
2. |
And when the stars darken,
|
3. |
And when the mountains are made to pass away,
|
4. |
And when the camels are left untended,
|
5. |
And when the wild animals are made to go forth, |
6. |
And when the seas are set on fire,
|
7. |
And when souls are united,
|
8. |
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
|
9. |
For what sin she was killed,
|
10. |
And when the books are spread,
|
11. |
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
|
12. |
And when the hell is kindled up,
|
13. |
And when the garden is brought nigh,
|
14. |
Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
|
15. |
But nay! I swear by the stars,
|
16. |
That run their course (and) hide themselves,
|
17. |
And the night when it departs,
|
18. |
And the morning when it brightens,
|
19. |
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
|
20. |
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
|
21. |
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
|
22. |
And your companion is not gone mad.
|
23. |
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
|
24. |
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
|
25. |
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
|
26. |
Whither then will you go?
|
27. |
It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
|
28. |
For him among you who pleases to go straight.
|
29. |
And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. |
