@3Al-Mûhsi! The "Accountant!" laud Him so Who reckoneth up the deeds men do below@1. "IN GOD'S NAME, MERCIFUL, COMPASSIONATE!" When Earth shall quake with quaking, And cast her burden forth Of corpses; and live men Shall ask—with terror shaking— "What aileth Earth?" that day She shall reply, and say That which her Lord commands: And men shall come in bands, This side and that side, ranged to show Their works, and the account to know. And he that wrought of good a red ant's weight Shall see it writ: And who did evil, aye! as the skin of a date, Shall witness it. @3Al-Muhsi! dread Accountant! look In mercy on our judgment-book@1. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMPANIONS; A TALE OF A GRANDFATHER by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY AN INVOCATION; SONG, FR.
