al-Naba’

What is it that they are questioning each other about?!

— Ali Quli Qarai

[Is it] about the Great Tiding,

— Ali Quli Qarai

the one about which they differ?

— Ali Quli Qarai

No indeed! Soon they will know!

— Ali Quli Qarai

No indeed! Soon they will know for once again!

— Ali Quli Qarai

Did We not make the earth a resting place?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and the mountains stakes?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and create you in pairs?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and make your sleep for rest?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and make the night a covering?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and make the day for livelihood?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and build above you the seven mighty heavens?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and make [the sun for] a radiant lamp?

— Ali Quli Qarai

and send down water pouring from the rain-clouds,

— Ali Quli Qarai

that We may bring forth with it grains and plants,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and luxuriant gardens?

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst,

— Ali Quli Qarai

the day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will come in groups,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and the sky will be opened and become gates,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and the mountains will be set moving and become a mirage.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed hell is in ambush,

— Ali Quli Qarai

a resort for the rebels,

— Ali Quli Qarai

to reside therein for ages,

— Ali Quli Qarai

tasting in it neither any coolness nor drink,

— Ali Quli Qarai

except boiling water and pus,

— Ali Quli Qarai

a fitting requital.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed they did not expect any reckoning,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and they denied Our signs mendaciously,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and We have figured everything in a Book.

— Ali Quli Qarai

So [now] taste! We shall increase you in nothing but punishment!

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed a triumph awaits the Godwary:

— Ali Quli Qarai

gardens and vineyards,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and buxom maidens of a like age,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and brimming cups.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Therein they shall hear neither vain talk nor lies

— Ali Quli Qarai

—a reward and a sufficing bounty from your Lord,

— Ali Quli Qarai

the All-beneficent, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. They will not be able to address Him

— Ali Quli Qarai

on the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in an array: none shall speak except someone who is permitted by the All-beneficent and says what is rightful.

— Ali Quli Qarai

That day is true for certain. So let anyone who wishes take resort with his Lord.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed We have warned you of a punishment near at hand—the day when a person will observe what his hands have sent ahead and the faithless one will say, ‘I wish I were dust!’

— Ali Quli Qarai
