| 081.000 The Overthrowing
|
| 081.001 |
When the sun is overthrown, |
| 081.002 |
And when the stars fall, |
| 081.003 |
And when the hills are moved, |
| 081.004 |
And when the camels big with young are abandoned, |
| 081.005 |
And when the wild beasts are herded together, |
| 081.006 |
And when the seas rise, |
| 081.007 |
And when souls are reunited, |
| 081.008 |
And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked |
| 081.009 |
For what sin she was slain, |
| 081.010 |
And when the pages are laid open, |
| 081.011 |
And when the sky is torn away, |
| 081.012 |
And when hell is lighted, |
| 081.013 |
And when the Garden is brought nigh, |
| 081.014 |
(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. |
| 081.015 |
Oh, but I call to witness the planets, |
| 081.016 |
The stars which rise and set, |
| 081.017 |
And the close of night, |
| 081.018 |
And the breath of morning |
| 081.019 |
That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, |
| 081.020 |
Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, |
| 081.021 |
(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; |
| 081.022 |
And your comrade is not mad. |
| 081.023 |
Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. |
| 081.024 |
And he is not avid of the Unseen. |
| 081.025 |
Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. |
| 081.026 |
Whither then go ye ? |
| 081.027 |
This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, |
| 081.028 |
Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. |
| 081.029 |
And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. |
