88: The Overwhelming, the Pall
|
| 1 |
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?
|
| 2 |
Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,
|
| 3 |
Labouring (hard), weary,-
|
| 4 |
The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-
|
| 5 |
The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,
|
| 6 |
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'
|
| 7 |
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.
|
| 8 |
(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,
|
| 9 |
Pleased with their striving,-
|
| 10 |
In a Garden on high,
|
| 11 |
Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:
|
| 12 |
Therein will be a bubbling spring:
|
| 13 |
Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,
|
| 14 |
Goblets placed (ready),
|
| 15 |
And cushions set in rows,
|
| 16 |
And rich carpets (all) spread out.
|
| 17 |
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-
|
| 18 |
And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-
|
| 19 |
And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-
|
| 20 |
And at the Earth, how it is spread out?
|
| 21 |
Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.
|
| 22 |
Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.
|
| 23 |
But if any turn away and reject God,-
|
| 24 |
God will punish him with a mighty Punishment,
|
| 25 |
For to Us will be their return;
|
| 26 |
Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
