بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
Fahaqqa 'alainaa qawlu Rabbinaaa innaa lazaaa'iqoon
and so we became deserving of the Word of our Lord that we shall be made to suffer chastisement.
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
Fa aghwainaakum innaa kunnaa ghaaween
So we led you astray; we ourselves were strayed.”
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Fa innahum Yawma'izin fil'azaabi mushtarikoon
On that Day, they will all share the chastisement.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Innaa kazaalika naf'alu bil mujrimeen
Thus do We treat the culprits.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
Innahum kaanooo izaa qeela lahum laaa ilaaha illal laahu yastakbiroon
Whenever it was said to them: “There is no true deity apart from Allah,” they waxed proud
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
Wa yaqooloona a'innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa'irim majnoon
and said: “Shall we forsake our deities for the sake of a distracted poet?”
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
bal jaaa'a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen
(They say so although) he brought the Truth and confirmed the veracity of the Messengers.
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ
Innakum lazaaa'iqul 'azaabil aleem
(They will be told): “You shall taste the grievous chastisement.
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Wa maa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon
You will only be recompensed according to your deeds.”
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
But Allah's chosen servants (shall be spared this woeful end).
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Ulaaa'ika lahum rizqum ma'loom
For them awaits a known provision,
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ
Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon
a variety of delicious fruits; and they shall be honoured
فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Fee jannaatin Na'eem
in the Gardens of Bliss.
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
'Alaa sururim mutaqaa bileen
They will be seated upon couches set face to face;
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ
Yutaafu 'alaihim bikaasim mim ma'een
a cup filled with wine from its springs, will be passed around to them;
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ
Baidaaa'a laz zatil lish shaaribeen
white, sparkling (wine), a delight to the drinkers.
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ
Laa feehaa ghawlunw wa laa hum 'anhaa yunzafoon
There will neither be any harm in it for their body nor will it intoxicate their mind.
وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ
Wa 'indahum qaasiraatut tarfi 'een
Theirs shall be wide-eyed maidens with bashful, restrained glances,
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ
Ka annahunna baidum maknoon
so delicate as the hidden peel under an egg's shell.
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa badiny yatasaaa 'aloon
Then some of them will turn to others, and will ask each other.
قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ
Qaala qaaa'ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen
One of them will say: “I had a companion in the world
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
Yaqoolu a'innnaka laminal musaddiqeen
who used to say: -- Are you also one of those who confirm the Truth (of life after death)?
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamadeenoon
After we are dead and have become all dust and bones shall we still be requited?'
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
Qaala hal antum muttali'oon
He will say: -- Do you wish to know where he is now?'
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Fattala'a fara aahu fee sawaaa'il Jaheem
Then he will look downwards, and will see him in the depths of Hell.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ
Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen
He will say to him: -- By Allah, you almost ruined me.
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
Wa law laa ni'matu Rabbee lakuntu minal muhdareen
But for Allah's favour, I should be one of those who have been mustered here.
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen
So, are we not going to die,
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu'azzabeen
except for our first death? And shall we suffer no chastisement?'”
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Inna haazaa falya'ma lil'aamiloon
Surely this is the supreme triumph.
