1. * |
Hath the tidings of the day that shall OVERSHADOW, reached thee?
|
|
2. * |
Downcast on that day shall be the countenances of some,
|
|
3. * |
Travailing and worn,
|
|
4. * |
Burnt at the scorching fire,
|
|
5. * |
Made to drink from a fountain fiercely boiling.
|
|
6. * |
No food shall they have but the fruit of Darih,
|
|
7. * |
Which shall not fatten, nor appease their hunger.
|
|
8. * |
Joyous too, on that day, the countenances of others,
|
|
9. * |
Well pleased with their labours past,
|
|
10. * |
In a lofty garden:
|
|
11. * |
No vain discourse shalt thou hear therein:
|
|
12. * |
Therein shall be a gushing fountain,
|
|
13. * |
Therein shall be raised couches,
|
|
14. * |
And goblets ready placed,
|
|
15. * |
And cushions laid in order,
|
|
16. * |
And carpets spread forth.
|
|
17. * |
Can they not look up to the clouds, how they are created;
|
|
18. * |
And to the heaven how it is upraised;
|
|
19. * |
And to the mountains how they are rooted;
|
|
20. * |
And to the earth how it is outspread?
|
|
21. * |
Warn thou then; for thou art a warner only:
|
|
22. * |
Thou hast no authority over them:
|
|
23. * |
But whoever shall turn back and disbelieve,
|
|
24. * |
God shall punish him with the greater punishment.
|
|
25. * |
Verily to Us shall they return;
|
|
26. * |
Then shall it be Our's to reckon with them.
