OH, the sudden calamity!
2
How awesome the sudden calamity!
3
And what could make thee conceive what that sudden calamity will be?
4
(It will occur) on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion,
5
and the mountains will be like fluffy tufts of wool. . . .
6
And then, he whose weight (of good deeds) is heavy in the balance
7
shall find himself in a happy' state of life;
8
whereas he whose weight is light in the balance
9
shall be engulfed by an abyss.
10
And what could make thee conceive what that (abyss) will be?
