When the sun is overthrown
And when the stars fall
And when the hills are moved
And when the camels big with young are abandoned
And when the wild beasts are herded together
And when the seas rise
And when souls are reunited
And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked
For what sin she was slain
And when the pages are laid open
And when the sky is torn away
And when hell is lighted
And when the Garden is brought nigh
(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready
Oh, but I call to witness the planets
The stars which rise and set
And the close of night
And the breath of morning
That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger
Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne
(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy
And your comrade is not mad
Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon
And he is not avid of the Unseen
Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned
Whither then go ye
This is naught else than a reminder unto creation
Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight
And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation
