Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallUnto an Awful Day,

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThose who deny the Day of Judgment
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhich none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWho, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallNay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallNay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd mixed with water of Tasnim,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallA spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd wink one to another when they passed them;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallYet they were not sent as guardians over them.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThis day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallOn high couches, gazing.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAre not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
