"The day when the heaven is as molten brass, And the mountains are as wool; And no friend will ask of friend, (Though) they are made to see them. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by his children, And his wife and his brother, And his kin that gave him shelter, And all that are in the earth -- then deliver him -- By no means! Surely it is a flaming Fire, Plucking out the extremities -- It shall claim him who retreats and turns his back, And hoards then withholds."
