1:
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
|
|
|
|
2:
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
|
|
|
|
3:
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
|
|
|
|
4:
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
|
|
|
|
5:
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
|
|
|
|
6:
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
|
|
|
|
7:
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
|
|
|
|
8:
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
|
|
|
|
9:
For what crime she was killed;
|
|
|
|
10:
When the scrolls are laid open;
|
|
|
|
11:
When the world on High is unveiled;
|
|
|
|
12:
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
|
|
|
|
13:
And when the Garden is brought near;-
|
|
|
|
14:
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
|
|
|
|
15:
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
|
|
|
|
16:
Go straight, or hide;
|
|
|
|
17:
And the Night as it dissipates;
|
|
|
|
18:
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
|
|
|
|
19:
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
|
|
|
|
20:
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
|
|
|
|
21:
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
|
|
|
|
22:
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
|
|
|
|
23:
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
|
|
|
|
24:
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
|
|
|
|
25:
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
|
|
|
|
26:
When whither go ye?
|
|
|
|
27:
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
|
|
|
|
28:
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
|
|
|
|
29:
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
