1. * |
By the loosed ones successively
|
|
2. * |
storming tempestuously
|
|
3. * |
by the scatterers scattering
|
|
4. * |
and the severally severing
|
|
5. * |
and those hurling a reminder
|
|
6. * |
excusing or warning,
|
|
7. * |
surely that which you are promised is about to fall!
|
|
8. * |
When the stars shall be extinguished,
|
|
9. * |
when heaven shall be split
|
|
10. * |
when the mountains shall be scattered
|
|
11. * |
and when the Messengers' time is set,
|
|
12. * |
to what day shall they be delayed?
|
|
13. * |
To the Day of Decision.
|
|
14. * |
And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision?
|
|
15. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
16. * |
Did We not destroy the ancients,
|
|
17. * |
and then follow them with the later folk?
|
|
18. * |
So We serve the sinners.
|
|
19. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
20. * |
Did We not create you of a mean water,
|
|
21. * |
that We laid within a sure lodging
|
|
22. * |
till a known term decreed?
|
|
23. * |
We determined; excellent determiners are We.
|
|
24. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
25. * |
Made We not the earth to be a housing
|
|
26. * |
for the living and for the dead?
|
|
27. * |
Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water?
|
|
28. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
29. * |
Depart to that you cried was lies!
|
|
30. * |
Depart to a triple-massing shadow
|
|
31. * |
unshading against the blazing flame
|
|
32. * |
that shoots sparks like dry faggots,
|
|
33. * |
sparks like to golden herds.
|
|
34. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
35. * |
This is the day they shall not speak
|
|
36. * |
neither be given leave, and excuse themselves.
|
|
37. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
38. * |
'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients;
|
|
39. * |
if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!'
|
|
40. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
41. * |
Truly the godfearing shall dwell amid shades and fountains,
|
|
42. * |
and such fruits as their hearts desire:
|
|
43. * |
'Eat and drink, with wholesome appetite, for that you were working.'
|
|
44. * |
Even so do We recompense the good-doers.
|
|
45. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
46. * |
'Eat and take your joy a little; you are sinners!'
|
|
47. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
48. * |
When it is said to them, 'Prostrate yourselves!' they prostrate not.
|
|
49. * |
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!
|
|
50. * |
In what discourse after this will they believe?
