It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

Just one blast and––lo and behold!––they will look

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!

So, it will be only a single castigating call, and all of a sudden they will begin to see.

It will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e. the second blowing of the Trumpet)], and behold, they will be staring!

There will be a single stern rebuff and lo, they will be observing with their own eyes (all that they had been warned against).
