إِلّا مَوتَتَنَا الأولىٰ وَما نَحنُ بِمُعَذَّبينَ

Except for our first death, and we aren’t to be punished.”

إِنَّ هـٰذا لَهُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

Indeed, this is the great achievement.

لِمِثلِ هـٰذا فَليَعمَلِ العامِلونَ

For such, let the workers work.

أَذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ نُزُلًا أَم شَجَرَةُ الزَّقّومِ

Isn’t this a better hospitality than that of the Tree of Bitterness?

إِنّا جَعَلناها فِتنَةً لِلظّالِمينَ

We made it an ordeal for the unjust.

طَلعُها كَأَنَّهُ رُءوسُ الشَّياطينِ

Its buds are like the heads of devils.

فَإِنَّهُم لَآكِلونَ مِنها فَمالِئونَ مِنهَا البُطونَ

From it, they will eat and fill their stomachs.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُم عَلَيها لَشَوبًا مِن حَميمٍ

Then, they will have a mixture of scalding brew.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرجِعَهُم لَإِلَى الجَحيمِ

Then, their return will be to the flaming Inferno.

إِنَّهُم أَلفَوا آباءَهُم ضالّينَ

They found their ancestors astray.
