@3Al-Muktadir! the "Powerful!" by this Praise we the Word, whence cometh woe and bliss@1. Verily, all things—saith "the Book"—We made, Decreeing; and Our bidding was one word, Quick, as the twinkling of an eye; and all, Whatever things men do, stands in scrolls, Where great and small alike are written down: And then shall surely come the Hour—the Hour! And bitter for the sinners it will be When they are dragged, upon their faces, down To hell, and taste the touch of fire; but sweet Will it be for the pious,—these shall sit 'Mid streams and gardens in the seat of truth; Happy, near Muktadir, the Mighty One. @3Grant us that seat of truth to see Almighty Allah! nigh to Thee@1. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO TREES IN KATHMANDU by KAREN SWENSON CASABIANCA by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE SWAMP ANGEL by HERMAN MELVILLE HOUSEHOLD POEMS: 1.
