How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 103 We know well what they will say when the most upright among them will say: "You did not tarry more than a day." 104
