إِنَّهُم كانوا إِذا قيلَ لَهُم لا إِلـٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَستَكبِرونَ

When they were told, “There is no god but God,” they exhibited arrogance.

وَيَقولونَ أَئِنّا لَتارِكو آلِهَتِنا لِشاعِرٍ مَجنونٍ

And they said, “Shall we leave our gods for a mad poet?”

بَل جاءَ بِالحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ المُرسَلينَ

He came with the truth and confirmed the messengers.

إِنَّكُم لَذائِقُو العَذابِ الأَليمِ

You will surely taste the severe punishment.

وَما تُجزَونَ إِلّا ما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

And you will only be recompensed for what you used to do.

أُولـٰئِكَ لَهُم رِزقٌ مَعلومٌ

For them, there will be a known provision.

فَواكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُكرَمونَ

Fruits, and they will be honored.

في جَنّاتِ النَّعيمِ

In the Gardens of Delights.

عَلىٰ سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلينَ

On thrones, facing one another.

يُطافُ عَلَيهِم بِكَأسٍ مِن مَعينٍ

A cup filled with a drink of pure pleasure will be passed among them.
