Has the news of the Overwhelming Event reached you ˹O Prophet˺?

On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be downcast,

˹totally˺ overburdened, exhausted,

burning in a scorching Fire,

left to drink from a scalding spring.

They will have no food except a foul, thorny shrub,

neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger.

On that Day ˹other˺ faces will be glowing with bliss,

˹fully˺ pleased with their striving,

in an elevated Garden,

where no idle talk will be heard.

In it will be a running spring,

along with thrones raised high,

and cups set at hand,

and ˹fine˺ cushions lined up,

and ˹splendid˺ carpets spread out.
