[al-Badr, vol. 1, no. 3, April 20, 1905, p. 1 and al- H akam, vol. 9, no. 14, April 2, 1905, p. 1] (B) [Urdu verses:] Wake up O sleepers, this is not the time to sleep; The heart is all atremble in consequence of the warning conveyed by Divine revelation. I see the earth turned upside down by the earthquake; The time is now near, the flood is at the gate.

No vessel can save from this inundation; All means of deliverance are futile except the One Oft- Returning with compassion.
