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.

فَأَمّا إِن كانَ مِنَ المُقَرَّبينَ

And if he was of those brought near.

فَرَوحٌ وَرَيحانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعيمٍ

Then pleasure, fragrance, and a Garden of Delight.

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.

وَتَصلِيَةُ جَحيمٍ

And immersion in a Blaze.

إِنَّ هـٰذا لَهُوَ حَقُّ اليَقينِ

This is the absolute truth.
