shakir
 
1.  *     I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
 
2.  *     And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
 
3.  *     And by those who float in space,
 
4.  *     Then those who are foremost going ahead,
 
5.  *     Then those who regulate the affair.
 
6.  *     The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
 
7.  *     What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
 
8.  *     Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
 
9.  *     Their eyes cast down.
 
10.  *     They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
 
11.  *     What! when we are rotten bones?
 
12.  *     They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
 
13.  *     But it shall be only a single cry,
 
14.  *     When lo! they shall be wakeful.
 
15.  *     Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
 
16.  *     When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
 
17.  *     Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
 
18.  *     Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
 
19.  *     And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
 
20.  *     So he showed him the mighty sign.
 
21.  *     But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
 
22.  *     Then he went back hastily.
 
23.  *     Then he gathered (men) and called out.
 
24.  *     Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
 
25.  *     So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
 
26.  *     Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
 
27.  *     Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
 
28.  *     He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
 
29.  *     And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
 
30.  *     And the earth, He expanded it after that.
 
31.  *     He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
 
32.  *     And the mountains, He made them firm,
 
33.  *     A provision for you and for your cattle.
 
34.  *     But when the great predominating calamity comes;
 
35.  *     The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
 
36.  *     And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
 
37.  *     Then as for him who is inordinate,
 
38.  *     And prefers the life of this world,
 
39.  *     Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
 
40.  *     And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
 
41.  *     Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.
 
42.  *     They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
 
43.  *     About what! You are one to remind of it.
 
44.  *     To your Lord is the goal of it.
 
45.  *     You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
 
46.  *     On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
