Al-Mukaddim Al-Muwakhir
Mukaddim! Muwakhir! by these names still
Praise Him Who hath forewarned, and doth fulfil.
Praise Him Who hath forewarned, and doth fulfil.
When the trumpet shall be ringing,
Then the threatened Day hath come,
Every soul to judgment bringing.
Then the threatened Day hath come,
Every soul to judgment bringing.
Each soul shall itself deliver
With two Angels, unto doom,
With a Witness and a Driver.
With two Angels, unto doom,
With a Witness and a Driver.
He that driveth shall say, “Vainly
Warned we thee, till this upholding
Of the veil: now thou seest plainly.”
Warned we thee, till this upholding
Of the veil: now thou seest plainly.”
221
And the Witness by his side,
He shall say, a scroll unfolding,
“This is what I testified.”
He shall say, a scroll unfolding,
“This is what I testified.”
Loud shall sound th' award eternal:
“Hurl to hell the misbelievers,
Sinners, liars;—let infernal
“Hurl to hell the misbelievers,
Sinners, liars;—let infernal
Torments seize perverse transgressors!”
Then will speak the wan deceivers,
Seeking pleas and intercessors.
Then will speak the wan deceivers,
Seeking pleas and intercessors.
But the awful Voice shall thunder,
“Wrangle not in Allah's hearing!
Many a sign and many a wonder
“Wrangle not in Allah's hearing!
Many a sign and many a wonder
222
Did forwarn ye of repentance;
Time is past for more forbearing;
Not with Us is change of sentence.”
Time is past for more forbearing;
Not with Us is change of sentence.”
Heaven shall say to Hell that morning,
“Art thou full?” Hell shall inquire,
“Hast thou others?” blackly yawning
“Art thou full?” Hell shall inquire,
“Hast thou others?” blackly yawning
With choked gullet. But believing
Souls will see, brought nigh and nigher,
Paradise's gates, receiving
Souls will see, brought nigh and nigher,
Paradise's gates, receiving
Those to whom We promised Heaven.
“Patient ones! for ever striving
Towards the Merciful! forgiven
“Patient ones! for ever striving
Towards the Merciful! forgiven
223
Are your falterings; enter ye
Into peace; now is arriving
The great Day of eternity.”
Into peace; now is arriving
The great Day of eternity.”
Forewarner and Fulfiller! we
Confess with dread Thine equity.
Confess with dread Thine equity.
