OH, the sudden calamity!

How awesome the sudden calamity!

And what could make thee conceive what that sudden calamity will be?

[It will occur] on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion,

and the mountains will be like fluffy tufts of wool....

And then, he whose weight [of good deeds] is heavy in the balance

shall find himself in a happy' state of life;

whereas he whose weight is light in the balance

shall be engulfed by an abyss.

And what could make thee conceive what that [abyss] will be?

A fire hotly burning!
