| 1. * | Has there come to thee the news of the Overwhelming Event? |
| 2. * | Faces on that day will be downcast, |
| 3. * | Labouring, toiling, |
| 4. * | Entering burning Fire, |
| 5. * | Made to drink from a boiling spring. |
| 6. * | They will have no food but of thorns, |
| 7. * | Neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger. |
| 8. * | Faces on that day will be happy, |
| 9. * | Glad for their striving, |
| 10. * | In a lofty Garden, |
| 11. * | Wherein thou wilt hear no vain talk. |
| 12. * | Therein is a fountain flowing. |
| 13. * | Therein are thrones raised high, |
| 14. * | And drinking-cups ready placed, |
| 15. * | And cushions set in tows, |
| 16. * | And carpets spread out. |
| 17. * | See they not the clouds, how they are created? |
| 18. * | And the heaven, how it is raised high? |
| 19. * | And the mountains, how they are fixed? |
| 20. * | And the earth, how it is spread out? |
| 21. * | So remind. Thou art only one to remind. |
| 22. * | Thou art not warder over them -- |
| 23. * | But whoever turns back and disbelieves, |
| 24. * | Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. |
| 25. * | Surely to Us is their return, |
| 26. * | Then it is for Us to call them to account. |
