In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
When the sun is covered, | |
And when the stars darken, | |
And when the mountains are made to pass away, | |
And when the camels are left untended, | |
And when the wild animals are made to go forth, | |
And when the seas are set on fire, | |
And when souls are united, | |
And when the female infant buried alive is asked | |
For what sin she was killed, | |
And when the books are spread, | |
And when the heaven has its covering removed, | |
And when the hell is kindled up, | |
And when the garden is brought nigh, | |
Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. | |
But nay! I swear by the stars, | |
That run their course (and) hide themselves, | |
And the night when it departs, | |
And the morning when it brightens, | |
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, | |
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, | |
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. | |
And your companion is not gone mad. | |
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. | |
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. | |
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, | |
Whither then will you go? | |
It is naught but a reminder for the nations, | |
For him among you who pleases to go straight. | |
