The sun and the moon to a reckoning
and the stars and the trees bow themselves
and heaven -- He raised it up, and set the Balance
(Transgress not in the Balance
and weigh with justice, and skimp not in the Balance.

therein fruits, and palm-trees with sheaths
and grain in the blade, and fragrant herbs

O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny
