What is the Striking Calamity? (2)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ٣
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity? (3)
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ ٤
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed, (4)
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنْفُوشِ ٥
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up. (5)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ٦
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds], (6)
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍ ٧
He will be in a pleasant life. (7)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ٨
But as for one whose scales are light, (8)
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ ٩
His refuge will be an abyss. (9)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ ١٠
And what can make you know what that is? (10)
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ ١١
It is a Fire, intensely hot. (11)
