By the winds sent forth with beneficence
And those raging swiftly
By the spreading winds spreading
And the scattering wind scattering
And those winds that bring down the remembrance
By way of excuse or warning
Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall
So when stars are effaced
And when the heaven is cloven asunder
And when the mountains are carried away by wind
And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time
For what day is it timed
For the Day of Decision
And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is
Woe on that day Unto the belier
Destroyed We not the ancients
Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones
In this wise We do with the culprits
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
Created We you not of water despicable
Which We placed in a depository safe
Till a limit known
So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
Have We not made the earth a receptacle
Both for the living and the dead
And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
'Depart Unto that which ye were wont to belie
Depart Unto the shadow three branched
Neither shading nor availing against the flame
Verily it shall cast forth sparks like Unto a castle
As though they were camels yellow tawny
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak
Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients
If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me
Woe on the day Unto the beliers
Verily the God-fearing shall be amid shades and springs
And fruits such as they shall desire
'Eat and drink with relish that which ye have been working
Verily We! in this wise We recompense the well-doers
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
'Eat and enjoy a little; verily ye are culprits
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
And when it is said Unto them: 'bow down, they bow not down
Woe on that day Unto the beliers
In what discourse, then, after it, will they believe
