The Calamity! [2] What is the Calamity? [3] Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is! [4] A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths [5] And the mountains will become as carded wool. [6] Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works), [7] He will live a pleasant life. [8] But as for him whose scales are light, [9] A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, [10] Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! - [11] Raging Fire.
