Therefore endure with a goodly patience (5)

Surely they think it to be far off, (6)

And We see it nigh (7)

On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper (8)

And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool (9)

And friend shall not ask of friend (10)

(Though) they shall be made to see each other. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children, (11)

And his wife and his brother (12)

And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter, (13)

And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then (that) this might deliver him (14)
