84 - The Bursting Asund |
| |
|
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
| |
| |
| 1 | When the heaven bursts asunder, |
| |
| 2 | And obeys its Lord and it must. |
| |
| 3 | And when the earth is stretched, |
| |
| 4 | And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty, |
| |
| 5 | And obeys its Lord and it must. |
| |
| 6 | O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him. |
| |
| 7 | Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand, |
| |
| 8 | He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning, |
| |
| 9 | And he shall go back to his people joyful. |
| |
| 10 | And as to him who is given his book behind his back, |
| |
| 11 | He shall call for perdition, |
| |
| 12 | And enter into burning fire. |
| |
| 13 | Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers. |
| |
| 14 | Surely he thought that he would never return. |
| |
| 15 | Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. |
| |
| 16 | But nay! I swear by the sunset redness, |
| |
| 17 | And the night and that which it drives on, |
| |
| 18 | And the moon when it grows full, |
| |
| 19 | That you shall most certainly enter one state after another. |
| |
| 20 | But what is the matter with them that they do not believe, |
| |
| 21 | And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance? |
| |
| 22 | Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth. |
| |
| 23 | And Allah knows best what they hide, |
| |
| 24 | So announce to them a painful punishment~ |
| |
| 25 | Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut |
