When the sun will be darkened
and when the stars plunge down
and when the mountains will be set in motion
and when the pregnant camels are ignored
and when the savage beasts will be assembled together
and when the seas are caused to overflow
and when the souls will be mated
and when the buried infant girl will be asked
for which impiety she was slain
and when the scrolls will be unfolded
and when the heaven is stripped off
and when hellfire will be caused to burn fiercely
and when the Garden will be brought close,
every soul will know to what it was prone.
So no! I swear an oath by the stars that recede,
by the ones that run, the setting stars
and by the night when it swarmed
and by the morning, when it sighed,
truly, the Quran is a saying from a generous Messenger,
possessed of strength, with the Possessor of the Throne, secure,
one who is obeyed and, again, trustworthy.
And your companion is not one who is possessed.
And, certainly, he saw him on the clear horizon.
And he is not avaricious for the unseen,
nor is it the saying of the accursed Satan.
So where are you going?
Truly, it is not but a Remembrance to the worlds
to whoever among you willed to go straight.
But you will not, unless God wills, the Lord of the worlds.
