وَالْآنَ، لَقَدْ نُفِخَ فِي الْبُوقِ

And now, the horn has been blown.

لَقَدْ حَانَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَبَدَأَتِ النِّهَايَةُ

The Hour has arrived and the end has begun.

لَقَدْ حَانَ الْوَقْتُ لِلْعَالَمِ وَلِلْكَوْنِ بِأَسْرِهِ أَنْ يَمُوتَ

The time has come for the world and the entire universe to die.

لَمْ تَعُدِ الْأَرْضُ وَالسَّمَاءُ كَمَا كَانَتَا مِنْ قَبْلُ

The earth and the sky are no longer as they were before.

كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَتَدَاعَى وَاحِدًا تِلْوَ الْآخَرِ

Everything is collapsing, one after the other.

النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فِي حَيْرَةٍ

People look at one another in confusion,

لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَفْعَلُوهُ

they do not know what they should do.

فِي صَدْمَةٍ تَامَّةٍ، يُحَاوِلُونَ بِلَا حَوْلٍ وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

In complete shock, they try helplessly

أَنْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا الَّذِي يَجْرِي

to understand what is happening.

هَذَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَيِّ زِلْزَالٍ عَرَفُوهُ

This is greater than any earthquake they have known.
