81:1 |
|
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
|
81:2 |
|
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
|
81:3 |
|
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
|
81:4 |
|
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
|
81:5 |
|
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
|
81:6 |
|
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
|
81:7 |
|
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
|
81:8 |
|
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
|
81:9 |
|
For what crime she was killed;
|
81:10 |
|
When the scrolls are laid open;
|
81:11 |
|
When the world on High is unveiled;
|
81:12 |
|
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
|
81:13 |
|
And when the Garden is brought near;-
|
81:14 |
|
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
|
81:15 |
|
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
|
81:16 |
|
Go straight, or hide;
|
81:17 |
|
And the Night as it dissipates;
|
81:18 |
|
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
|
81:19 |
|
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
|
81:20 |
|
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
|
81:21 |
|
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
|
81:22 |
|
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
|
81:23 |
|
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
|
81:24 |
|
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
|
81:25 |
|
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
|
81:26 |
|
When whither go ye?
|
81:27 |
|
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
|
81:28 |
|
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
|
81:29 |
|
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
