1.  *     When the sun is folded up,
 
2.  *     And when the stars are dust-coloured,
 
3.  *     And when the mountains are made to pass away,
 
4.  *     And when the camels are abandoned,
 
5.  *     And when the wild animals are gathered together,
 
6.  *     And when the cities are made to swell,
 
7.  *     And when men are united,
 
8.  *     And when the one 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 hell is kindled,
 
13.  *     And when the Garden is brought nigh --
 
14.  *     Every soul will know what it has prepared.
 
15.  *     Nay, I call to witness the stars,
 
16.  *     Running their course, (and) setting,
 
17.  *     And the night when it departs.
 
18.  *     And the morning when it brightens,
 
19.  *     Surely it is the word of a bountiful Messenger,
 
20.  *     The possessor of strength, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,
 
21.  *     One (to be) obeyed, and faithful.
 
22.  *     And your companion is not mad.
 
23.  *     And truly he saw himself on the clear horizon.
 
24.  *     Nor is he niggardly of the unseen.
 
25.  *     Nor is it the word of an accursed devil --
 
26.  *     Whither then are you going?
 
27.  *     It is naught but a Reminder for the nations,
 
28.  *     For him among you who will go straight.
 
29.  *     And you will not, except Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
