The Reality!
|
|
2. * |
What is the Reality?
|
|
3. * |
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the reality is!
|
|
4. * |
(The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.
|
|
5. * |
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.
|
|
6. * |
And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,
|
|
7. * |
Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.
|
|
8. * |
Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them?
|
|
9. * |
And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,
|
|
10. * |
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.
|
|
11. * |
Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship
|
|
12. * |
That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.
|
|
13. * |
And when the trumpet shall sound one blast
|
|
14. * |
And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash,
|
|
15. * |
Then, on that day will the Event befall.
|
|
16. * |
And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail.
|
|
17. * |
And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.
|
|
18. * |
On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden.
|
|
19. * |
Then, as for him who is given his record in his right hand, he will say: Take, read my book!
|
|
20. * |
Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning.
|
|
21. * |
Then he will be in blissful state
|
|
22. * |
In a high garden
|
|
23. * |
Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.
|
|
24. * |
(And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.
|
|
25. * |
But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: Oh, would that I had not been given my book
|
|
26. * |
And knew not what my reckoning!
|
|
27. * |
Oh, would that it had been death!
|
|
28. * |
My wealth hath not availed me,
|
|
29. * |
My power hath gone from me.
|
|
30. * |
(It will be said): Take him and fetter him
|
|
31. * |
And then expose him to hell-fire
|
|
32. * |
And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits.
|
|
33. * |
Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous,
|
|
34. * |
And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.
|
|
35. * |
Therefor hath he no lover here this day,
|
|
36. * |
Nor any food save filth
|
|
37. * |
Which none but sinners eat.
|
|
38. * |
But nay! I swear by all that ye see
|
|
39. * |
And all that ye see not
|
|
40. * |
That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.
|
|
41. * |
It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!
|
|
42. * |
Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!
|
|
43. * |
It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
|
|
44. * |
And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,
|
|
45. * |
We assuredly had taken him by the right hand
|
|
46. * |
And then severed his life-artery,
|
|
47. * |
And not one of you could have held Us off from him.
|
|
48. * |
And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).
|
|
49. * |
And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).
|
|
50. * |
And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.
|
|
51. * |
And lo! it is absolute truth.
|
|
52. * |
So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.
