When the sun is folded up
And when the stars are obscured
And when the mountains are made to move
And when the she-camels, ten-month pregnant are abandoned
And when the wild beasts are gathered together
And when the rivers are drained away
And when various people are brought together
And when the female-infant buried alive is questioned about
`For what crime was she killed?
And when books are spread abroad
And when the heaven is laid bare
And when Hell-Fire is set ablaze
And when Paradise is brought nigh
Then every soul will know what it has produced
Nay ! I call to witness those that recede while advancing
Rush ahead and then hide
And I call to witness the night as it draws to a close
And the dawn as it begins to breathe
That this is, surely, the word revealed to a noble Messenger
Possessor of strength, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne
Entitled to obedience and faithful to his trust
And your companion is not mad
And he, assuredly, saw him on the clear horizon
And he is not niggardly with respect to the unseen
Nor is this the word of Satan, the rejected
Wither, then, are you going
It is nothing but a Reminder unto all the worlds
Unto such among you as desire to go straight
And you desire not a thing except that ALLAH, the Lord of the worlds, desire it
