The Catastrophe!

— Ali Quli Qarai

What is the Catastrophe?

— Ali Quli Qarai

What will show you what is the Catastrophe?

— Ali Quli Qarai

[It is] the day when mankind will be like scattered moths

— Ali Quli Qarai

and the mountains like carded wool.

— Ali Quli Qarai

As for him, whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales,

— Ali Quli Qarai

he will have a pleasing life.

— Ali Quli Qarai

But as for him, whose deeds weigh light in the scales,

— Ali Quli Qarai

his home will be the Abyss.

— Ali Quli Qarai

And what will show you what it is?

— Ali Quli Qarai

It is a scorching fire!
