[1] When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
[2] When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
[3] When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
[4] When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
[5] When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
[6] When the oceans boil over with a swell;
[7] When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
[8] When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
[9] For what crime she was killed;
[10] When the scrolls are laid open;
[11] When the world on High is unveiled;
[12] When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
[13] And when the Garden is brought near;-
[14] (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
[15] So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
[16] Go straight, or hide;
[17] And the Night as it dissipates;
[18] And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
[19] Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
[20] Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
[21] With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
[22] And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
[23] And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
[24] Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
[25] Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
[26] When whither go ye?
[27] Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
[28] (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
[29] But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
