al-Infiṭār

When the sky is rent apart,

— Ali Quli Qarai

when the stars are scattered,

— Ali Quli Qarai

when the seas are merged,

— Ali Quli Qarai

when the graves are overturned,

— Ali Quli Qarai

then a soul shall know what it has sent ahead and left behind.

— Ali Quli Qarai

O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord,

— Ali Quli Qarai

who created you and proportioned you, and gave you an upright nature,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and composed you in any form that He wished?

— Ali Quli Qarai

No! Indeed, you deny the Retribution.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed, there are over you watchers,

— Ali Quli Qarai

noble writers,

— Ali Quli Qarai

who know whatever you do.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Indeed the pious shall be amid bliss,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and indeed the vicious shall be in hell,

— Ali Quli Qarai

entering it on the Day of Retribution,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and they shall not be absent from it.

— Ali Quli Qarai

And what will show you what is the Day of Retribution?

— Ali Quli Qarai

Again, what will show you what is the Day of Retribution?

— Ali Quli Qarai

It is a day when no soul will be of any avail to another soul and all command that day will belong to Allah.

— Ali Quli Qarai
