 The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'ân, by M.M. Pickthall, at sacred-texts.com 
 101. al-Qari`ah: The Terrible Calamity 
 1  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.
