| 1. * | 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. |
