(I) When the Inevitable arrives
2
no one will deny its happening,
4
The earth will be rocked with a jolt
5
and the mountains crumble to pieces
6
and become dust that is scattered about.
7
You will form three groups:
8
the Companions on the Right (What do the Companions on the Right (mean)?);
9
the Companions on the Left (What do the Companions on the Unlucky side (mean)?);
10
and the Pioneers will be out there leading!
11
Those will be the nearest
13
a multitude from early men
14
and a few from later ones
15
on couches set close together,
16
leaning back on them, facing one another.
17
Immortal youths will stroll around them
18
with glasses, pitchers, and a cup from a fountain
19
which will not upset them nor dull their senses;
20
and any fruit that they may choose,
21
and the meat from any fowl they may desire;
22
and bright-eyed damsels (chaste)
23
just like treasured pearls,
24
as a reward for what they have been doing.
25
They will not hear any idle talk there nor any fault-finding,
26
merely people saying: "Peace! Peace!''
27
The Companions on the Right-what about the Companions on the Right?
28
(They will be) among hawthorns trimmed of their thorns,
29
and bananas piled bunch on bunch,
30
with their shade spread out,
