فَلَولا إِذا بَلَغَتِ الحُلقومَ

Then why, when it reaches the throat?

وَأَنتُم حينَئِذٍ تَنظُرونَ

And you are intently watching at that moment.

وَنَحنُ أَقرَبُ إِلَيهِ مِنكُم وَلـٰكِن لا تُبصِرونَ

We are closer to it than you are, yet you don’t perceive.

فَلَولا إِن كُنتُم غَيرَ مَدينينَ

If you’re not to be held accountable.

تَرجِعونَها إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Then bring it back, if what you say is true.

فَرَوحٌ وَرَيحانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعيمٍ

Then pleasure, fragrance, and a Garden of Delight.

وَأَمّا إِن كانَ مِن أَصحابِ اليَمينِ

And if he is among those of the Right.

فَسَلامٌ لَكَ مِن أَصحابِ اليَمينِ

Then, “Peace to you,” from those of the Right.

وَأَمّا إِن كانَ مِنَ المُكَذِّبينَ الضّالّينَ

And if he is among the deniers, the misguided.

فَنُزُلٌ مِن حَميمٍ

Then hospitality of scalding water.
