يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فهو في عيشة راضية
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
He shall live a pleasant life.
He will live a pleasant life.
وأما من خفت موازينه
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
But as for him whose scales are light,
فأمه هاوية
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
His abode shall be the abyss.
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
And what will make you know what it is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
نار حامية
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
