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.
