Source (Arabic)
هذا يوم فيه تحدّث الأرض بما فيها والمجرمون أثقالها لو كنتم من العارفين وانشقّ قمر الوهم وأتت السّمآء بِدُخَانٍ مُبِيْنٍ نرى النّاس صَرْعَى من خشية ربّك المقتدر القدير نادى المناد وانقعرت أعجاز النّفوس ذلك قهرٌ شديد إنّ اصحاب الشّمال في زفرة وشهيق وأصحاب اليمين في مقام كريم يشربون خمر الحيوان من أيادي الرّحمن أَلَا إنّهم من الفآئزين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
This is the Day whereon the earth shall tell out her tidings. The workers of iniquity are her burdens, could ye but perceive it. The moon of idle fancy hath been cleft, and the heaven hath given out a palpable smoke. We see the people laid low, awed with the dread of thy Lord, the Almighty, the Most Powerful. The Crier hath cried out, and men have been torn away, so great hath been the fury of His wrath. The people of the left hand sigh and bemoan. The people of the right abide in noble habitations: they quaff the Wine that is life indeed, from the hands of the All-Merciful, and are, verily, the blissful.
