Al-Waqia
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ17
everlasting youths will go round among them
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ18
with glasses, flagons, and cups of a pure drink
لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنْزِفُونَ19
that causes no headache or intoxication
وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ20
[there will be] any fruit they choose
وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ21
the meat of any bird they like
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ22
and beautiful companions
كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ23
like hidden pearls
جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ24
a reward for what they used to do
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا25
They will hear no idle or sinful talk there
إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا26
only clean and wholesome speech
وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ27
Those on the Right, what people they are
فِي سِدْرٍ مَخْضُودٍ28
They will dwell amid thornless lote trees
وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ29
and clustered acacia
وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ30
with spreading shade
وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ31
constantly flowing water
وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ32
abundant fruits
لَا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ33
unfailing, unforbidden
وَفُرُشٍ مَرْفُوعَةٍ34
with incomparable companions
إِنَّا أَنْشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنْشَاءً35
We have specially created––
فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا36
virginal
عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا37
loving, of matching age––
لِأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ38
for those on the Right
ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ39
many from the past
وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ40
and many from later generations
وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ41
But those on the Left, what people they are
فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ42
They will dwell amid scorching wind and scalding water
وَظِلٍّ مِنْ يَحْمُومٍ43
in the shadow of black smoke
لَا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ44
neither cool nor refreshing
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ45
Before, they overindulged in luxury
وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ46
and persisted in great sin
وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ47
always saying, ‘What? When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be raised up
أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ48
And our earliest forefathers too?’
قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ49
Say [Prophet], ‘The earliest and latest generations
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ50
will all be gathered on a predetermined Day
