THE OVERTHROWING, EXTINGUISHED! WRAPPING THINGS UP, CHAPTER NO. 081 |
|
  |
|
|
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. |
