81: The Overthrowing, Extinguished! Wrapping Things Up
|
| 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 God wills,- the Cherisher of the
Worlds.
