1 . When the sun is overthrown ,
2 . And when the stars fall ,
3 . And when the hills are moved ,
4 . And when the camels big with young are abandoned ,
5 . And when the wild beasts are herded together ,
6 . And when the seas rise ,
7 . And when souls are reunited ,
8 . And when the girl child that was buried alive is asked
9 . For what sin she was slain ,
10 . And when the pages are laid open ,
11 . And when the sky is torn away ,
12 . And when hell is lighted
13 . And when the garden is brought nigh
14 . ( Then ) every soul will know what it hath made ready .
15 . Oh , but I call to witness the planets ,
16 . The stars which rise and set ,
17 . And the close of night ,
18 . And the breath of morning
19 . That this is in truth the word of an honored messenger ,
20 . Mighty , established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne ,
21 . ( One ) to be obeyed , and trustworthy ;
22 . And your comrade is not mad .
23 . Surely he beheld him on the clear horizon .
24 . And he is not avid of the Unseen .
25 . Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned
26 . Whither then go ye?
27 . This is naught else than a reminder unto creation ,
28 . Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight .
29 . And ye will not , unless ( it be ) that Allah willeth , the Lord of Creation .
