1
[I swear] by the mountain
2
and the Scripture recorded
3
on a parchment unrolled,
4
and the House well attended,
5
and the roof raised up high,
7
Verily, imminent is the punishment of your Lord
8
that nobody can ward off!
9
On that Day when the sky is jolted a [mighty] jolt
10
and the mountains are moved a [mighty] move,
11
woe on that Day to those who denied,
12
and [whose life] was like romping in a pond!
13
On that Day they shall be ruthlessly flung into Hellfire:
14
— This is the Fire you used to deny!
15
Is it magic, or can you not see?
16
Then burn in it! Bear it or bear it not, you shall get the reward for what you have done!
17
Among the delights in the Gardens, the God-fearing
18
will be relishing the gifts of their Lord. Indeed, their Lord rescued them from punishment by the blazing Fire:
19
— Eat and drink to your health for what you have done
20
and recline on thrones standing in rows! We will join them to the wide-eyed huris.
21
We will reunite them with their believing siblings II. Eschatology and Apocalypsis whose posterity shares their faith. We will not deprive them of anything they achieved — every one will answer for whatever he earned.
22
We will supply them with fruit and meats to their hearts’ desire.
23
They shall be passing cups without frivolous talk or sinful thoughts.
24
They shall be attended by youths, as [handsome] as well protected pearls.
25
Approaching one another with questions,
26
they will say: “We used to worry about our families,
27
but God had mercy upon us. He saved us from punishment by the scorching wind.
28
Indeed, we had prayed to Him in the past! Verily, He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.”
29
— [O Muhammad!] Let you preach! By your Lord’s mercy you are not a seer or a madman.
30
They say: “He’s a poet! Wait and see how cruel his fate will be!”
