يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden

And the mountains will be like carded wool.
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,

Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
فهو في عيشة راضية
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.

Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
وأما من خفت موازينه
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,

dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.

Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
