اَفَسِحۡرٌ هٰذَاۤ اَمۡ اَنۡتُمۡ لَا تُبۡصِرُوۡنَۚ ١٥
52:15Is this magic, or do ye not see?
اِصۡلَوۡهَا فَاصۡبِرُوۡۤا اَوۡ لَا تَصۡبِرُوۡاۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡؕ اِنَّمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ١٦
52:16Endure the heat thereof, and whether ye are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.
اِنَّ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ فِىۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّنَعِيۡمٍۙ ١٧
52:17Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,
فٰكِهِيۡنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتٰٮهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ وَوَقٰٮهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ عَذَابَ الۡجَحِيۡمِ ١٨
52:18Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.
كُلُوۡا وَاشۡرَبُوۡا هَـنِٓـيـْئًا ۢ بِمَا كُنۡـتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَۙ ١٩
52:19(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,
مُتَّكِـــِٕيۡنَ عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مَّصۡفُوۡفَةٍۚ وَزَوَّجۡنٰهُمۡ بِحُوۡرٍ عِيۡنٍ ٢٠
52:20Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.
وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَاتَّبَعَتۡهُمۡ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمۡ بِاِيۡمَانٍ اَلۡحَـقۡنَا بِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ وَمَاۤ اَلَـتۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهِمۡ مِّنۡ شَىۡءٍؕ كُلُّ امۡرِیءٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِيۡنٌ ٢١
52:21And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nought of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned.
وَاَمۡدَدۡنٰهُمۡ بِفَاكِهَةٍ وَّلَحۡمٍ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُوۡنَ ٢٢
52:22And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
يَـتَـنَازَعُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا كَاۡسًا لَّا لَغۡوٌ فِيۡهَا وَلَا تَاۡثِيۡمٌ ٢٣
52:23There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.
وَيَطُوۡفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غِلۡمَانٌ لَّهُمۡ كَاَنَّهُمۡ لُـؤۡلُـؤٌ مَّكۡنُوۡنٌ ٢٤
52:24And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.
وَاَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوۡنَ ٢٥
52:25And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,
قَالُـوۡۤا اِنَّا كُـنَّا قَبۡلُ فِىۡۤ اَهۡلِنَا مُشۡفِقِيۡنَ ٢٦
52:26Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;
فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡنَا وَوَقٰٮنَا عَذَابَ السَّمُوۡمِ ٢٧
52:27But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.
اِنَّا كُـنَّا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ نَدۡعُوۡهُؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡبَـرُّ الرَّحِيۡمُ ٢٨
52:28Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.
فَذَكِّرۡ فَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ بِنِعۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ وَّلَا مَجۡنُوۡنٍؕ ٢٩
52:29Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman.
اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَـرَبَّصُ بِهٖ رَيۡبَ الۡمَنُوۡنِ ٣٠
52:30Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time?
قُلۡ تَرَبَّصُوۡا فَاِنِّىۡ مَعَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡمُتَـرَبِّصِيۡنَؕ ٣١
52:31Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant.
