47 Till the inevitable overtook us. |
48 So the intercession of intercessors will not avail them. |
49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the Reminder. |
50 As if they were frightened asses, |
51 Fleeing from a lion? |
52 Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out — |
53 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter. |
54 Nay, it is surely a Reminder. |
55 So whoever pleases may mind it. |
56 And they will not mind unless Allāh please. He is Worthy that duty should be kept to Him and Worthy to forgive. |
1 Nay, I swear by the day of Resurrection! |
2 Nay, I swear by the self-accusing spirit! |
3 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones? |
4 Yea, We are Powerful to make complete his whole make. |
5 Nay, man desires to go on doing evil in front of him. |
6 He asks: When is the day of Resurrection? |
7 So when the sight is confused, |
8 And the moon becomes dark, |
9 And the sun and the moon are brought together — |
10 Man will say on that day: Whither to flee? |
11 No! There is no refuge! |
12 With thy Lord on that day is the place of rest. |
13 Man will that day be informed of what he sent before and what he put off. |
