1. |
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
|
|
2. |
When the stars fall, losing their luster;
|
|
3. |
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
|
|
4. |
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
|
|
5. |
When the wild beasts are herded together (in human habitations);
|
|
6. |
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
|
|
7. |
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
|
|
8. |
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
|
|
9. |
For what crime she was killed;
|
|
10. |
When the Scrolls are laid open;
|
|
11. |
When the sky is unveiled;
|
|
12. |
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
|
|
13. |
And when the Garden is brought near;-
|
|
14. |
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
|
|
15. |
So verily I call to witness the Planets - that recede,
|
|
16. |
Go straight, or hide;
|
|
17. |
And the Night as it dissipates;
|
|
18. |
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
|
|
19. |
Verily this is the word of a most honorable Messenger,
|
|
20. |
Endued with Power, held in honor by the Lord of the Throne,
|
|
21. |
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
|
|
22. |
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
|
|
23. |
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
|
|
24. |
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
|
|
25. |
Nor is it the word of a satan accursed.
|
|
26. |
When whither go ye?
|
|
27. |
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
|
|
28. |
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
|
|
29. |
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
