Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper?
|
|
2. * |
Faces on that day humbled,
|
|
3. * |
labouring, toilworn,
|
|
4. * |
roasting at a scorching fire,
|
|
5. * |
watered at a boiling fountain,
|
|
6. * |
no food for them but cactus thorn
|
|
7. * |
unfattening, unappeasing hunger.
|
|
8. * |
Faces on that day jocund,
|
|
9. * |
with their striving well-pleased,
|
|
10. * |
in a sublime Garden,
|
|
11. * |
hearing there no babble;
|
|
12. * |
therein a running fountain,
|
|
13. * |
therein uplifted couches
|
|
14. * |
and goblets set forth
|
|
15. * |
and cushions arrayed
|
|
16. * |
and carpets outspread.
|
|
17. * |
What, do they not consider how the camel was created,
|
|
18. * |
how heaven was lifted up,
|
|
19. * |
how the mountains were hoisted,
|
|
20. * |
how the earth was outstretched?
|
|
21. * |
Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder;
|
|
22. * |
thou art not charged to oversee them.
|
|
23. * |
But he who turns his back, and disbelieves,
|
|
24. * |
God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
|
|
25. * |
Truly, to Us is their return;
|
|
26. * |
then upon Us shall rest their reckoning.
