81:1
When the sun has been extinguished,
81:2
when the stars slip out of place,

when the mountains travel along,
81:4
when ten-month pregnant camels are neglected,
81:5
when wild beasts are herded together,
81:6
when the seas overflow,

So I swear by the planets
81:16
moving, sweeping along,
81:17
and night as it draws on,
81:18
and morn when it breathes again,
81:19
it is a statement by a generous messenger
81:20
possessing strength established by the One Enthroned
81:21
Who is to be Obeyed and more than that is Trustworthy.
