[1] When the sun is overthrown,
[2] And when the stars fall,
[3] And when the hills are moved,
[4] And when the camels big with young are abandoned,
[5] And when the wild beasts are herded together,
[6] And when the seas rise,
[7] And when souls are reunited,
[8] And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked
[9] For what sin she was slain,
[10] And when the pages are laid open,
[11] And when the sky is torn away,
[12] And when hell is lighted,
[13] And when the Garden is brought nigh,
[14] (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.
[15] Oh, but I call to witness the planets,
[16] The stars which rise and set,
[17] And the close of night,
[18] And the breath of morning
[19] That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,
[20] Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,
[21] (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;
[22] And your comrade is not mad.
[23] Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.
[24] And he is not avid of the Unseen.
[25] Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.
[26] Whither then go ye?
[27] This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,
[28] Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.
[29] And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.
