Source (Arabic)
هذه نفخة أُخرى إلى مَن تنظرون هذا ربّكم الرّحمن وأنتم تجحدون قد زُلْزِلَت الأرض وَأَخْرَجَت أثقالها أفأنتم تنكرون قل أَمَا تَرَوْنَ الجبال كَالْعِهْنِ والقوم من سطوة الأمر مضطربون تلك بيوتهم خَاوِيَة على عروشها وهم جُنْدٌ مُغْرَقُونَ هذا يومٌ فيه
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Speed out of your sepulchers. How long will ye sleep? The second blast hath been blown on the trumpet. On whom are ye gazing? This is your Lord, the God of Mercy. Witness how ye gainsay His signs! The earth hath quaked with a great quaking, and cast forth her burdens. Will ye not admit it? Say: Will ye not recognize how the mountains have become like flocks of wool, how the people are sore vexed at the awful majesty of the Cause of God? Witness how their houses are empty ruins, and they themselves a drowned host.
