When heaven is split open,
|
|
2. * |
when the stars are scattered,
|
|
3. * |
when the seas swarm over,
|
|
4. * |
when the tombs are overthrown,
|
|
5. * |
then a soul shall know its works, the former and the latter.
|
|
6. * |
O Man! What deceived thee as to thy generous Lord
|
|
7. * |
who created thee and shaped thee and wrought thee in symmetry
|
|
8. * |
and composed thee after what form He would?
|
|
9. * |
No indeed; but you cry lies to the Doom;
|
|
10. * |
yet there are over you watchers
|
|
11. * |
noble, writers
|
|
12. * |
who know whatever you do.
|
|
13. * |
Surely the pious shall be in bliss,
|
|
14. * |
and the libertines shall be in a fiery furnace
|
|
15. * |
roasting therein on the Day of Doom,
|
|
16. * |
nor shall they ever be absent from it.
|
|
17. * |
And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Doom?
|
|
18. * |
Again, what shall teach thee what is the Day of Doom?
|
|
19. * |
A day when no soul shall possess aught to succour another soul; that day the Command shall belong unto God.
