A. J. Arberry - LXXXVIII The Enveloper lyrics

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compa**ionate 88:1 Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? Faces on that day humbled, labouring, toilworn, roasting at a scorching fire, 88:5 watered at a boiling fountain, no food for them but cactus thorn unfattening, unappeasing hunger. Faces on that day jocund, with their striving well-pleased, in a sublime Garden, hearing there no babble; therein a running fountain, therein uplifted couches and goblets set forth 88:15 and cushions arrayed and carpets outspread. What, do they not consider how the camel was created, how heaven was lifted up, how the mountains were hoisted, 88:20 how the earth was outstretched? Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; thou art not charged to oversee them. But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 88:25 Truly, to Us is their return; then upon Us shall rest their reckoning.
