Source (Arabic)
قد رجّت الأرض ومرّت الجبال ونرى الملئكة مردفين أخذ السّكر أكثر العباد نرى في وجوههم آثار القهر كذلك حشرنا المجرمين يهرعون إلى الطّاغوت قل لا عاصِم اليوم من أمر اللّه هذا يوم عظيم نريهم الّذين أضلّاهم ينظرون إليهما ولا يشعرون قد سكرت أبصارهم وهم قوم عمون حجّتهم مفتريات أنفسهم وإنّها داحضة عند اللّه المهيمن القيّوم قد نزغ الشّيطان في صدورهم وهم اليوم في عذاب غير مردود يسرعون إلى الأشرار بكتاب الفجّار كذلك يعملون
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The earth hath been shaken, and the mountains have passed away, and the angels have appeared, rank on rank, before Us. Most of the people are bewildered in their drunkenness and wear on their faces the evidences of anger. Thus have We gathered together the workers of iniquity. We see them rushing on towards their idol. Say: None shall be secure this Day from the decree of God. This indeed is a grievous Day. We point out to them those that led them astray. They see them, and yet recognize them not. Their eyes are drunken; they are indeed a blind people. Their proofs are the calumnies they uttered; condemned are their calumnies by God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. The Evil One hath stirred up mischief in their hearts, and they are afflicted with a torment that none can avert. They hasten to the wicked, bearing the register of the workers of iniquity. Such are their doings.
