When the sky is split open

The Splitting
When the sky is split open
— Ali Quli Qarai
and gives ear to its Lord as it should.
— Ali Quli Qarai
When the earth is spread out
— Ali Quli Qarai
and throws out what is in it, emptying itself,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and gives ear to its Lord as it should.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O man! You are labouring toward your Lord laboriously, and you will encounter Him.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Then, as for him who is given his record [of deeds] in his right hand,
— Ali Quli Qarai
he will receive an easy reckoning,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and he will return to his folks joyfully.
— Ali Quli Qarai
But as for him who is given his record from behind his back,
— Ali Quli Qarai
he will pray for annihilation
— Ali Quli Qarai
and enter the Blaze.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Indeed he used to be joyful among his folk,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and he thought that he would never return.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Yes, his Lord had been watching him.
— Ali Quli Qarai
I swear by the evening glow,
— Ali Quli Qarai
by the night and what it is fraught with,
— Ali Quli Qarai
by the moon when it blooms full:
— Ali Quli Qarai
you will surely fare from stage to stage.
— Ali Quli Qarai
What is the matter with them that they will not believe,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and will not prostrate when the Quran is recited to them?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Indeed, the faithless impugn [the Apostle],
— Ali Quli Qarai
and Allah knows best what they keep to themselves.
— Ali Quli Qarai
So inform them of a painful punishment,
— Ali Quli Qarai
excepting such as are faithful and do righteous deeds: for them there will be an everlasting reward.
— Ali Quli Qarai
