What is the terrible calamity!
Was ist das Verhängnis?
وما أدراك ما القارعة

يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش

And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فهو في عيشة راضية
He will live a pleasant life.
He shall live a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
وأما من خفت موازينه

And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
فأمه هاوية
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
His abode shall be the abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.

Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
