shakir
 
1.  *     When the sun is covered,
 
2.  *     And when the stars darken,
 
3.  *     And when the mountains are made to pass away,
 
4.  *     And when the camels are left untended,
 
5.  *     And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
 
6.  *     And when the seas are set on fire,
 
7.  *     And when souls are united,
 
8.  *     And when the female infant buried alive is asked
 
9.  *     For what sin she was killed,
 
10.  *     And when the books are spread,
 
11.  *     And when the heaven has its covering removed,
 
12.  *     And when the hell is kindled up,
 
13.  *     And when the garden is brought nigh,
 
14.  *     Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
 
15.  *     But nay! I swear by the stars,
 
16.  *     That run their course (and) hide themselves,
 
17.  *     And the night when it departs,
 
18.  *     And the morning when it brightens,
 
19.  *     Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
 
20.  *     The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
 
21.  *     One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
 
22.  *     And your companion is not gone mad.
 
23.  *     And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
 
24.  *     Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
 
25.  *     Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
 
26.  *     Whither then will you go?
 
27.  *     It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
 
28.  *     For him among you who pleases to go straight.
 
29.  *     And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
