@3Magnify Him, Al-Kaîyum; and so call The "Self-subsisting" God who judgeth all@1. When the trumpet shall sound, On that day, The wicked, slow-gathering, Shall say, "Is it long we have lain in our graves? For it seems as an hour!" Then will Israfil call them to judgment; And none shall have power To turn aside, this way or that; And their voices will sink To silence, except for the sounding Of a noise, like the noise on the brink Of the sea, when its stones Are dragged with a clatter and hiss Down the shore, in the wild breaker's roar: The sound of their woe shall be this! Then they who denied That He liveth Eternal, "Self-made," Shall call to the mountains to crush them; Amazed and afraid. @3Thou Self-subsistent, Living Lord! Thy grace against that day afford@1. |
