The
Tearers

By the Name

God

the Fount-of-All-Mercy
the Ever-Merciful

by those that

tear out violently

and those that

draw out gently

and those that

swim smoothly

and those that

surge suddenly

and those that

direct things

on the day when

the first blast shudders

and the second blast

follows it

on that day

hearts will be pounding

and their eyes looking down

they will say

"What

are we being made again
just as we were before?

what

after we have turned into
old decayed bones?"

they will say

"Such a return
would be impossible"

but it will only take
a single blast

and see

they have woken up

have you heard
the story of Moses?

when his Liege called to him
in the holy valley of Tuwa

Go to Pharaoh
he has gone beyond the limits

and say

"Do you want
to purify yourself?

and that I should guide you
to your Liege

and you will feel fear"

so he showed him
the great Sign

but he said it was lies
and refused to obey

and turned away
in a hurry

then he gathered his people
and made a proclamation

he said

"I am your Liege

the Highest"

so God seized him

with the punishment
of the Afterlife
and this life

surely in that
is a lesson
for those that fear

are you stronger
in the way you are made
or is heaven that Hu built?

Hu lifted up its canopy
and shaped it

darkened its night

brought out its morning light

and after that

spread out the earth

and from it brought out
its waters and its pastures

and the mountains

Hu set them firm

for you
and your livestock
to enjoy

then when
the great disaster comes

on the day
when humans remember
what they tried to do

and Hellfire
is brought forward
for whoever sees

then as for those
who stepped over the limits

and preferred
the present life

in Hellfire
is where they will stay

but as for those who feared
the Standing of their Liege

and did not let themselves
be swayed by their urges

surely the Garden
is where they will stay

they will ask you
about the Hour

when it will come

what is it to you
to mention it?

to your Liege
is the final end of it

you are only the warner
of those who fear it

it will be as if

on the day that they see it

they have only waited

for an evening

or a morning
