1. * |
WHEN the Heaven shall have SPLIT ASUNDER
|
|
2. * |
And duteously obeyed its Lord;
|
|
3. * |
And when Earth shall have been stretched out as a plain,
|
|
4. * |
And shall have cast forth what was in her and become empty,
|
|
5. * |
And duteously obeyed its Lord;
|
|
6. * |
Then verily, O man, who desirest to reach thy Lord, shalt thou meet him.
|
|
7. * |
And he into whose right hand his Book shall be given,
|
|
8. * |
Shall be reckoned with in an easy reckoning,
|
|
9. * |
And shall turn, rejoicing, to his kindred.
|
|
10. * |
But he whose Book shall be given him behind his back
|
|
11. * |
Shall invoke destruction:
|
|
12. * |
But in the fire shall he burn,
|
|
13. * |
For that he lived joyously among his kindred,
|
|
14. * |
Without a thought that he should return to God.
|
|
15. * |
Yea, but his Lord beheld him.
|
|
16. * |
It needs not therefore that I swear by the sunset redness,
|
|
17. * |
And by the night and its gatherings,
|
|
18. * |
And by the moon when at her full,
|
|
19. * |
That from state to state shall ye be surely carried onward.
|
|
20. * |
What then hath come to them that they believe not?
|
|
21. * |
And that when the Koran is recited to them they adore not?
|
|
22. * |
Yea, the unbelievers treat it as a lie.
|
|
23. * |
But God knoweth their secret hatreds:
|
|
24. * |
Let their only tidings be those of painful punishment;
|
|
25. * |
Save to those who believe and do the things that be right. An unfailing recompense shall be theirs.
