| 088.000 The Overwhelming
|
| 088.001 |
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ? |
| 088.002 |
On that day (many) faces will be downcast, |
| 088.003 |
Toiling, weary, |
| 088.004 |
Scorched by burning fire, |
| 088.005 |
Drinking from a boiling spring, |
| 088.006 |
No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit |
| 088.007 |
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. |
| 088.008 |
In that day other faces will be calm, |
| 088.009 |
Glad for their effort past, |
| 088.010 |
In a high Garden |
| 088.011 |
Where they hear no idle speech, |
| 088.012 |
Wherein is a gushing spring, |
| 088.013 |
Wherein are couches raised |
| 088.014 |
And goblets set at hand |
| 088.015 |
And cushions ranged |
| 088.016 |
And silken carpets spread. |
| 088.017 |
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ? |
| 088.018 |
And the heaven, how it is raised ? |
| 088.019 |
And the hills, how they are set up ? |
| 088.020 |
And the earth, how it is spread ? |
| 088.021 |
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, |
| 088.022 |
Thou art not at all a warder over them. |
| 088.023 |
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, |
| 088.024 |
Allah will punish him with direst punishment. |
| 088.025 |
Lo! unto Us is their return |
| 088.026 |
And Ours their reckoning. |
