(I) By those who snatch (men's souls) away at their last gasp
2
and others who act more nimbly
3
as well as those floating by,
4
and still others racing past,
5
to regulate some matter!
6
Some day a rumbling will be felt;
7
another will follow on its heels!
8
Hearts will be pounding on that day;
9
their sight will be downcast.
10
They will say: "Will we be restored to our original state
11
once we are crumbled bones?"
12
They say: "That would then be a losing proposition!"
13
There would only be a single rebuke
14
and then they would never be able to sleep again!
15
Has Moses' story ever come to you,
16
when his Lord called to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa?
17
Go off to Pharaoh; he has acted arrogantly
18
SAY: 'Would you care to be purified
19
and for me to guide you to your Lord so you may (learn to) dread (Him)?'"
20
He showed him the greatest sign.
21
Yet he denied and defied it;
22
then he turned away to try his best.
23
He summoned, and called out,
24
and said: "I am your supreme lord!"
25
God seized him as an example in (both) the Hereafter and from the First (life).
26
In that there lies a lesson for anyone who dreads (retribution).
27
(II) Were you harder to create, or the sky He has raised?
28
He has lifted its canopy up and smoothed it off.
29
He darkens its night and brings forth its morning glow;
30
and the earth has He spread out besides,
