1. * |
Of what do they question one another?
|
|
2. * |
Of the mighty tiding
|
|
3. * |
whereon they are at variance.
|
|
4. * |
No indeed; they shall soon know!
|
|
5. * |
Again, no indeed; they shall soon know!
|
|
6. * |
Have We not made the earth as a cradle
|
|
7. * |
and the mountains as pegs?
|
|
8. * |
And We created you in pairs,
|
|
9. * |
and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
|
|
10. * |
and We appointed night for a garment,
|
|
11. * |
and We appointed day for a livelihood.
|
|
12. * |
And We have built above you seven strong ones,
|
|
13. * |
and We appointed a blazing lamp
|
|
14. * |
and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading
|
|
15. * |
that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
|
|
16. * |
and gardens luxuriant.
|
|
17. * |
Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time,
|
|
18. * |
the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops,
|
|
19. * |
and heaven is opened, and become gates,
|
|
20. * |
and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour.
|
|
21. * |
Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush,
|
|
22. * |
for the insolent a resort,
|
|
23. * |
therein to tarry for ages,
|
|
24. * |
tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink
|
|
25. * |
save boiling water and pus
|
|
26. * |
for a suitable recompense.
|
|
27. * |
They indeed hoped not for a reckoning,
|
|
28. * |
and they cried loud lies to Our signs;
|
|
29. * |
and everything We have numbered in a Book.
|
|
30. * |
'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.'
|
|
31. * |
Surely for the godfearing awaits a place of security,
|
|
32. * |
gardens and vineyards
|
|
33. * |
and maidens with swelling breasts, like of age,
|
|
34. * |
and a cup overflowing.
|
|
35. * |
Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cry of lies,
|
|
36. * |
for a recompense from thy Lord, a gift, a reckoning,
|
|
37. * |
Lord of the heavens and earth, and all that between them is, the All-merciful of whom they have no power to speak.
|
|
38. * |
Upon the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in ranks they shall speak not, save him to whom the All-merciful has given leave, and who speaks aright.
|
|
39. * |
That is the true day; so whosoever wills takes unto his Lord a resort.
|
|
40. * |
Lo, We have warned you of a nigh chastisement, upon the day when a man shall behold what his hands have forwarded, and the unbeliever shall say, 'O would that I were dust!'
