فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but AllŒh," were arrogant

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet ()] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do –

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

But not the chosen servants of AllŒh.

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

Those will have a provision determined –

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

Fruits;[1] and they will be honored

فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

On thrones facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ

White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances,[1] with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He will say,[1] "Would you [care to] look?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

And he will look and see him[1] in the midst of the Hellfire.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

He will say, "By AllŒh, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

Indeed, this is the great attainment.
