By those who tear out violently
And by those who gaily release
And by those who float through the air
And the preceders who precede
And those who manage the affair
On the day when the quaking quake
which the following one shall succeed
Hearts on that day shall tremble
eyes thereon be humbled
They say, 'Shall we be sent back to our old course?
What! when we are rotten bones?
they say, 'That then were a losing return!
But it will only be one scare
and lo! they will be on the surface
Has the story of Moses come to you
when his Lord addressed him in the holy valley of Tuva
'Go unto Pharaoh, verily, he is outrageous
and say, "Hast thou a wish to purify thyself
and that I may guide thee to thy Lord, and thou mayest fear?"
So he showed him the greatest signs
but he called him a liar and rebelled
Then he retreated hastily
and gathered, and proclaimed
and said, 'I am your Lord most High!
but God seized him with the punishment of the future life and of the former
Verily, in that is a lesson to him who fears
Are ye harder to create or the heaven that He has built
He raised its height and fashioned it
and made its night to cover it, and brought forth its noonday light
and the earth after that He did stretch out
He brings forth from it its water and its pasture
And the mountains He did firmly set
a provision for you and for your cattle
And when the great predominant calamity shall come
on the day when man shall remember what he strove after
and hell shall be brought out for him who sees
And as for him who was outrageou
and preferred the life of this world
verily, hell is the resort
But as for him who feared the station of his Lord, and prohibited his soul from lust
verily, Paradise is the resort
They shall ask thee about the Hour, for when it is set
Whereby canst thou mention it
Unto thy Lord its period belongs
Thou art only a warner to him who fears it
On the day they see it, it will be as though they had only tarried an evening or the noon thereof
