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 the 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
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed
When whither go ye
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds
