When the sun collapses,
And when the stars darken,
And when the mountains move,
And when heavily pregnant camels are neglected,
And when the wild beasts are gathered,
And when the seas overflow,
And when the souls are paired up,
And when the buried infant is asked,
For what sin she was killed,
And when the pages are opened,
And when the sky is torn away,
And when hell-fire is lit,
And when the garden is brought near,
Each soul will know what it has brought.
But I swear by the persisting stars,
As they move along,
And the night when it darkens,
And the morning when it gains strength,
It is the speech of an honourable messenger,
Powerful and established in the presence of the owner of the throne.
Obeyed and trusted.
And your companion is not possessed.
And he saw him clearly on the horizon.
And he is not holding back any secrets.
And it is not the speech of a cursed devil.
What are you claiming!
It is only a reminder for all the world.
For whoever of you pleases to go straight.
And it won´t please you unless Allah pleases, the Lord of all worlds.
