Al-Insan
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا6
a spring for God’s servants, which flows abundantly at their wish
يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا7
They fulfil their vows; they fear a day of widespread woes
وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا8
they give food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, though they love it themselves
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا9
saying, ‘We feed you for the sake of God alone: We seek neither recompense nor thanks from you
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا10
We fear the Day of our Lord––a woefully grim Day.’
فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا11
So God will save them from the woes of that Day, give them radiance and gladness
وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا12
and reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and silken robes
مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۖ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا13
They will sit on couches, feeling neither scorching heat nor biting cold
وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا14
with shady [branches] spread above them and clusters of fruit hanging close at hand
وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآنِيَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِيرَا15
They will be served with silver plates
قَوَارِيرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًا16
and gleaming silver goblets according to their fancy
وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيلًا17
and they will be given a drink infused with ginger
عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا18
from a spring called Salsabil
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَنْثُورًا19
Everlasting youths will attend them––if you could see them, you would think they were scattered pearls––
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا20
and if you were to look around, you would see bliss and great wealth
عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا21
they will wear garments of green silk and brocade; they will be adorned with silver bracelets; their Lord will give them a pure drink
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا22
[It will be said], ‘This is your reward. Your endeavours are appreciated.’
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا23
We Ourself have sent down this Quran to you [Prophet] in gradual revelation
فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا24
Await your Lord’s Judgement with patience; do not yield to any of these sinners or disbelievers
وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا25
remember the name of your Lord at dawn and in the evening
