| 1. * | WHEN the Heaven shall CLEAVE asunder, |
| 2. * | And when the stars shall disperse, |
| 3. * | And when the seas shall be commingled, |
| 4. * | And when the graves shall be turned upside down, |
| 5. * | Each soul shall recognise its earliest and its latest actions. |
| 6. * | O man! what hath misled thee against thy generous Lord, |
| 7. * | Who hath created thee and moulded thee and shaped thee aright? |
| 8. * | In the form which pleased Him hath He fashioned thee. |
| 9. * | Even so; but ye treat the Judgment as a lie. |
| 10. * | Yet truly there are guardians over you- |
| 11. * | Illustrious recorders- |
| 12. * | Cognisant of your actions. |
| 13. * | Surely amid delights shall the righteous dwell, |
| 14. * | But verily the impure in Hell-fire: |
| 15. * | They shall be burned at it on the day of doom, |
| 16. * | And they shall not be able to hide themselves from it. |
| 17. * | Who shall teach thee what the day of doom is? |
| 18. * | Once more. Who shall teach thee what the day of doom is? |
| 19. * | It is a day when one soul shall be powerless for another soul: all sovereignty on that day shall be with God. |
