1. * |
When heaven is rent asunder
|
|
2. * |
and gives ear to its Lord, and is fitly disposed;
|
|
3. * |
when earth is stretched out
|
|
4. * |
and casts forth what is in it, and voids itself,
|
|
5. * |
and gives ear to its Lord, and is fitly disposed!
|
|
6. * |
O Man! Thou art labouring unto thy Lord laboriously, and thou shalt encounter Him.
|
|
7. * |
Then as for him who is given his book in his right hand,
|
|
8. * |
he shall surely receive an easy reckoning
|
|
9. * |
and he will return to his family joyfully.
|
|
10. * |
But as for him who is given his book behind his back,
|
|
11. * |
he shall call for destruction
|
|
12. * |
and he shall roast at a Blaze.
|
|
13. * |
He once lived among his family joyfully;
|
|
14. * |
he surely thought he would never revert.
|
|
15. * |
Yes indeed; his Lord had sight of him.
|
|
16. * |
No! I swear by the twilight
|
|
17. * |
and the night and what it envelops
|
|
18. * |
and the moon when it is at the full,
|
|
19. * |
you shall surely ride stage after stage.
|
|
20. * |
Then what ails them, that they believe not,
|
|
21. * |
and when the Koran is recited to them they do not bow?
|
|
22. * |
Nay, but the unbelievers are crying lies,
|
|
23. * |
and God knows very well what they are secreting.
|
|
24. * |
So give them good tidings of a painful chastisement,
|
|
25. * |
except those that believe, and do righteous deeds -- theirs shall be a wage unfailing.
