1.  *     THE BLOW!
 
2.  *     what is the Blow?
 
3.  *     Who shall teach thee what the Blow is?
 
4.  *     The Day when men shall be like scattered moths,
 
5.  *     And the mountains shall be like flocks of carded wool,
 
6.  *     Then as to him whose balances are heavy-
 
7.  *     his shall be a life that shall please him well:
 
8.  *     And as to him whose balances are light-
 
9.  *     his dwelling-place shall be the pit.
 
10.  *     And who shall teach thee what the pit (El-Hawiya) is?
 
11.  *     A raging fire!
