By the Name
God
the Fount-of-All-Mercy
the Ever-Merciful
no
I swear by
the Day of Rising
no
I swear by those
who blame themselves
do humans think that
We will not gather
their bones?
yes indeed
We can shape
their fingers again
no
humans want to deny
what is ahead of them
asking
"When will it be
the Day of Rising?"
but when sight is dazzled
and the moon is eclipsed
and the sun and the moon
are brought together
on that day
humans will say
"Where can we run away to?"
no indeed
there will be no safe place
on that day
they will all return
to your Liege
on that day
humans will be told
what they put first
and what they put last
humans will be
clear proofs
against themselves
even though
they offer their excuses
do not move your tongue
trying to hurry it
it is Ours to gather
and to speak
so when We speak it
follow what is said
then it is up to Us
to explain it
no indeed
you love this hurried world
and ignore
the world to come
on that day
faces will shine
gazing
at their Liege
on that day
faces will be scowling
as they realise
the calamity
that is about to hit them
no indeed
when it reaches
the collar bone
and it is said
"Who has a charm
to save me?"
and they know that
it is the final parting
when the legs
are twisted together
on that day
you will be driven
to your Liege
for they did not agree with it
and did not make Sala
but called it lies
and turned away
then went to their families
full of pride
nearer to you
and nearer
then nearer to you
and nearer
do humans think
they will be left alone?
were they not
a drop of liquid spilled?
then a blood clot
that Hu created
and shaped
and Hu made two kinds
male and female
is Hu not able to
give life to the dead?
