But be patient (O Muhammad) with a patience fair to see. (5)

Lo! they behold it afar off (6)

While we behold it nigh: (7)

The day when the sky will become as molten copper, (8)

And the hills become as flakes of wool, (9)

And no familiar friend will ask a question of his friend (10)

Though they will be given sight of them. The guilty man will long to be able to ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the price of his children (11)

And his spouse and his brother (12)

And his kin that harboured him (13)

And all that are in the earth, if then it might deliver him. (14)
