(d) When the camels big with young are abandoned.

(e) And when the wild beasts are herded together

(f) And when the seas rise,

(g) And when the souls are sorted,

(h) And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked,

(i) For what crime she was killed?

(j) And when the books [records of deeds] are open,

(k) And when the sky is torn away,

(l) And when Hell is set ablaze,

(m) And when Paradise draws near,

(n) Then every Soul shall know what it has done.
