56:1
When the Terror descend
56:2
(and none denies its descending
56:4
when the earth shall be rocke
56:5
and the mountains crumble
56:6
and become a dust, scattered
56:7
and you shall be three bands -
56:8
Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!
56:9
Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!
56:10
and the Outstrippers: the Outstripper
56:11
those are they brought nigh the Throne
56:12
in the Gardens of Deligh
56:13
(a throng of the ancient)
56:14
and how few of the later folk
56:15
upon close-wrought couche
56:16
reclining upon them, set face to face
56:17
immortal youths going round about the
56:18
with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a sprin
56:19
(no brows throbbing, no intoxication
56:20
and such fruits as they shall choose
56:21
and such flesh of fowl as they desire
56:22
and wide-eyed houri
56:23
as the likeness of hidden pearls
56:24
a recompense for that they laboured
56:25
Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin
56:26
only the saying 'Peace, Peace!
56:27
The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!
56:28
mid thornless lote-tree
56:29
and serried acacias
56:31
and outpoured waters
56:32
and fruits aboundin
56:33
unfailing, unforbidden
56:34
and upraised couches
56:35
Perfectly We formed them, perfect
56:36
and We made them spotless virgins
56:38
like of age for the Companions of the Right
56:39
A throng of the ancient
56:40
and a throng of the later folk
56:41
The Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!
56:42
mid burning winds and boiling water
56:43
and the shadow of a smoking blaz
56:44
neither cool, neither goodly
56:45
and before that they lived at ease
56:46
and persisted in the Great Sin
56:47
ever saying, 'What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised up
56:48
What, and our fathers, the ancients?
56:49
Say: 'The ancients, and the later fol
56:50
shall be gathered to the appointed time of a known day
56:51
Then you erring ones, you that cried lies
56:52
you shall eat of a tree called Zakkoum
56:53
and you shall fill therewith your bellie
56:54
and drink on top of that boiling wate
56:55
lapping it down like thirsty camels.
56:56
This shall be their hospitality on the Day of Doom
56:57
We created you; therefore why will you not believe
56:58
Have you considered the seed you spill
56:59
Do you yourselves create it, or are We the Creators
56:60
We have decreed among you Death; We shall not be outstripped
56:61
that We may exchange the likes of you, and make you to grow again in a fashion you know not
56:62
You have known the first growth; so why will you not remember
56:63
Have you considered the soil you till
56:64
Do you yourselves sow it, or are We the Sowers
56:65
Did We will, We would make it broken orts, and you would remain bitterly jesting -
56:66
'We are debt-loaded
56:67
nay, we have been robbed!
56:68
Have you considered the water you drink
56:69
Did you send it down from the clouds, or did We send it
56:70
Did We will, We would make it bitter; so why are you not thankful
56:71
Have you considered the fire you kindle
56:72
Did you make its timber to grow, or did We make it
56:73
We Ourselves made it for a reminder, and a boon to the desert-dwellers
56:74
Then magnify the Name of thy Lord, the All-mighty
56:75
No! I swear by the fallings of the star
56:76
(and that is indeed a mighty oath, did you but know it
56:77
it is surely a noble Kora
56:79
none but the purified shall touch
56:80
a sending down from the Lord of all Being
56:81
What, do you hold this discourse in disdain
56:82
and do you make it your living to cry lies
56:83
Why, but when the soul leaps to the throat of the dyin
56:84
and that hour you are watchin
56:85
(And We are nigher him than you, but you do not see Us
56:86
why, if you are not at Our disposal
56:87
do you not bring back his soul, if you speak truly
56:88
Then, if he be of those brought nigh the Throne
56:89
there shall be repose and ease, and a Garden of Delight
56:90
and if he be a Companion of the Right
56:91
'Peace be upon thee, Companion of the Right!
56:92
But if he be of them that cried lies, and went astray
56:93
there shall be a hospitality of boiling wate
56:94
and the roasting in Hell
56:95
Surely this is the truth of certainty
56:96
Then magnify the Name of thy Lord, the All-mighty
