81. "The Cessation"
  
     
1.
 When the sun is covered,  
2.
 And when the stars fall,  
3.
 And when the hills are moved,  
4.
 And when the livestock pregnant with young are abandoned,
 
5.
 And when the wild beasts are herded together,
 
6.
 And when the seas rise,  
7.
 And when souls are reunited,  
8.
 And when the murdered call out
 
9.
 For what reason they were slain,  
10.
 And when the pages are laid open,
 
11.
 And when the sky is darkened,  
12.
 And when One Heaven appears,  
13.
 The End of Days will appear,
 
14.
 Then every soul will know what it has made ready.
 
15.
 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,
 
16.
 The stars which rise and set,  
17.
 And the close of night,  
18.
 And the breath of morning
 
19.
 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,
 
20.
 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,
 
21.
 One to be obeyed, and trustworthy;
 
22.
 And your comrade is not mad.  
23.
 For he surely beheld Him on the clear horizon.
 
24.
 And he is not an artisan of the psychic realm.
 
25.
 Nor is this the utterance of someone possessed by a demon.
 
26.
 From this point then, where to you now go?  
27.
 This is nothing else than a reminder unto creation,
 
28.
 Unto whomsoever of you will to walk straight.
 
29.
 And you will not, unless it be that Allah wills, the Lord of Creation.
