Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ? |
|
| 2 |
On that day (many) faces will be downcast, |
|
| 3 |
Toiling, weary, |
|
| 4 |
Scorched by burning fire, |
|
| 5 |
Drinking from a boiling spring, |
|
| 6 |
No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit |
|
| 7 |
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. |
|
| 8 |
In that day other faces will be calm, |
|
| 9 |
Glad for their effort past, |
|
| 10 |
In a high Garden |
|
| 11 |
Where they hear no idle speech, |
|
| 12 |
Wherein is a gushing spring, |
|
| 13 |
Wherein are couches raised |
|
| 14 |
And goblets set at hand |
|
| 15 |
And cushions ranged |
|
| 16 |
And silken carpets spread. |
|
| 17 |
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ? |
|
| 18 |
And the heaven, how it is raised ? |
|
| 19 |
And the hills, how they are set up ? |
|
| 20 |
And the earth, how it is spread ? |
|
| 21 |
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, |
|
| 22 |
Thou art not at all a warder over them. |
|
| 23 |
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, |
|
| 24 |
Allah will punish him with direst punishment. |
|
| 25 |
Lo! unto Us is their return |
|
| 26 |
And Ours their reckoning. |
