1. * |
Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;
|
|
2. * |
Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).
|
|
3. * |
Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?
|
|
4. * |
Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!
|
|
5. * |
But man would fain deny what is before him.
|
|
6. * |
He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection?
|
|
7. * |
But when sight is confounded
|
|
8. * |
And the moon is eclipsed
|
|
9. * |
And sun and moon are united,
|
|
10. * |
On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!
|
|
11. * |
Alas! No refuge!
|
|
12. * |
Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.
|
|
13. * |
On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.
|
|
14. * |
Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,
|
|
15. * |
Although he tender his excuses.
|
|
16. * |
Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.
|
|
17. * |
Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.
|
|
18. * |
And when We read it, follow thou the reading;
|
|
19. * |
Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof.
|
|
20. * |
Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now
|
|
21. * |
And neglect the Hereafter.
|
|
22. * |
That day will faces be resplendent,
|
|
23. * |
Looking toward their Lord;
|
|
24. * |
And that day will other faces be despondent,
|
|
25. * |
Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.
|
|
26. * |
Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat
|
|
27. * |
And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)?
|
|
28. * |
And he knoweth that it is the parting;
|
|
29. * |
And agony is heaped on agony;
|
|
30. * |
Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.
|
|
31. * |
For he neither trusted, nor prayed.
|
|
32. * |
But he denied and flouted.
|
|
33. * |
Then went he to his folk with glee.
|
|
34. * |
Nearer unto thee and nearer,
|
|
35. * |
Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).
|
|
36. * |
Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless?
|
|
37. * |
Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth?
|
|
38. * |
Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned
|
|
39. * |
And made of him a pair, the male and female.
|
|
40. * |
Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life?
