People will be seized in a wave of Divine wrath, So suddenly that a naked one will have no time to secure his loin cloth. Suddenly an earthquake will severely shake them all — Be they humans, trees, rocks or oceans.

Those whose night garments were white as jasmine, Will wake up in the morning as if clad in red like the poplar tree. Men and animals will go out of their minds And nightingales and pigeons will forget their songs.
