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.
بَيضاءَ لَذَّةٍ لِلشّارِبينَ
Crystal-clear, delicious to those who drink.
لا فيها غَولٌ وَلا هُم عَنها يُنزَفونَ
Causing neither headache nor intoxication.
وَعِندَهُم قاصِراتُ الطَّرفِ عينٌ
And with them will be women restraining their glances.
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيضٌ مَكنونٌ
As though they were protected pearls.
فَأَقبَلَ بَعضُهُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ يَتَساءَلونَ
They will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
قالَ قائِلٌ مِنهُم إِنّي كانَ لي قَرينٌ
A speaker among them will say, “I had a close companion.
يَقولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ المُصَدِّقينَ
Who would say, ‘Are you among those who believe?
أَإِذا مِتنا وَكُنّا تُرابًا وَعِظامًا أَإِنّا لَمَدينونَ
That when we die and become dust and bones, we will be held accountable?’”
