وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

The companions of the right – what are the companions of the right?

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed.

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit].

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ

And shade extended.

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ

And water poured out

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

And [upon] beds raised high.

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ

Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

And the companions of the left – what are the companions of the left?

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

And they used to persist in the great violation,[1]

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Say, [O Muúammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

Will be eating from trees of zaqq´m

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

And drinking on top of it from scalding water.

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
