When the sun (With its spacious light) Is folded up;
When the stars Fall, losing their lustre;
When the mountains vanish (Like a mirage);
When the she-camels, Ten months with young, Are left untended;
When the wild beasts Are herded together (In human habitations);
When the oceans Boil over with a swell;
When the souls Are sorted out, (Being joined, like with like);
When the female (infant), Buried alive, is questioned--
For what crime She was killed;
When the Scrolls Are laid open;
When the World on High Is unveiled;
When the Blazing Fire Is kindled to fierce heat;
And when the Garden Is brought near;--
(Then) shall each soul know What it has put forward.
So verily I call To witness the Planets-- That recede,
Go straight, or hide;
And the Night As it dissipates;
And the Dawn As it breathes away The darkness;--
Verily this is the word Of a most honourable Messenger,
Endued with Power, With rank before The Lord of the Throne,
