And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
At length, when the sight is dazed,
And the moon is buried in darkness.
And the sun and moon are joined together,-
By no means! No place of safety!
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
