79. "Those Who Pull Out"
  
     
1.
 By those who drag forth to destruction,
 
2.
 By the meteors rushing,  
3.
 By the lone stars floating,
 
4.
 By the angels hastening,
 
5.
 And those who govern the event,  
6.
 On the day when the first trumpet resounds.
 
7.
 And the second follows it,  
8.
 On that day hearts beat painfully
 
9.
 While eyes are downcast  
10.
 Now they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
 
11.
 Even after we are crumbled bones?
 
12.
 They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
 
13.
 Surely it will need but one shout,
 
14.
 And Behold! they will be awakened.
 
15.
 Has there come unto you the history of Moses (Akhenaten)?
 
16.
 How his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa,
 
17.
 Saying: Go you unto Pharaoh - Lo! he has rebelled -
 
18.
 And say unto him: Have you will to grow in grace?
  
19.
 Then I will guide you to thy Lord and you shall respect Him.
 
20.
 And he showed him the tremendous token.  
21.
 But he denied and disobeyed,
  
22.
 Then turned he away in haste,
 
23.
 Then gathered he and summoned
 
24.
 And proclaimed: "I Pharaoh am your Lord the Highest."
 
25.
 So Allah seized him and made him an example in this life and the afterlife.
 
26.
 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who respect Him.
 
27.
 Are you the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?
 
28.
 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
 
29.
 And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
 
30.
 And after that He spread the earth,
 
31.
 And produced from the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
 
32.
 And He made fast the hills,  
33.
 A provision for you and for your cattle.
 
34.
 But when the great disaster comes,
 
35.
 The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
 
36.
 And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
 
37.
 Then, as for him who rebelled  
38.
 And chose the life of the world,
 
39.
 Lo! a dark lonely place of regrets will be his home.  
40.
 But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
 
41.
 Lo! the One Heaven will be his home.
 
42.
 They ask you of the Hour: when will it come to port?
 
43.
 Why ask they? What have you to tell thereof?
 
44.
 Unto thy Lord belongs knowledge of the term thereof.
 
45.
 You are but a warner unto him who fears it.
 
46.
 On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but lingered for an evening or the morn thereof.
