No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection. |
 |
No! I swear by the reproachful soul. |
 |
What, does man reckon We shall not gather his bones? |
 |
Yes indeed; We are able to shape again his fingers. |
 |
Nay, but man desires to continue on as a libertine, |
 |
asking, 'When shall be the Day of Resurrection?' |
 |
But when the sight is dazed |
 |
and the moon is eclipsed, |
 |
and the sun and moon are brought together, |
 |
upon that day man shall say, 'Whither to flee?' |
 |
No indeed; not a refuge! |
 |
Upon that day the recourse shall be to thy Lord. |
 |
Upon that day man shall be told his former deeds and his latter; |
 |
nay, man shall be a clear proof against himself, |
 |
even though he offer his excuses. |
