The earth

 

He created the earth and;

suspended it;

retained it without support;

made it stand without legs;

and raised it without pillars.

         The Sun

Look at

the sun  and the moon;

the plants and the trees;

the water and the stones;

at the alteration of day and night;

the gush of the oceans;

and the height of their peaks

and the variety of the tongues.

                  

 

the great number of the mountains;

at the difference of languages;

it collects during the summer for the winter;

Look at the ant

with its small body;

and delicate form.

See how it crawls on the earth

and leaps at its livelihood;

it carries the grain to its hole

and stores it in its storage,

and during strength for the period of its weakness.

 

if you wish;

I will tell you about the locust

Allah gave it two red eyes ;

with pupils like two moons;

opened for it a suitable mouth ;

and gave it a keen sense ;

He gave it two front teeth to cut with ;

and two sickle - like feet to grip with

 

                          

               The Locust
