أُولـٰئِكَ في جَنّاتٍ مُكرَمونَ

These will be in Gardens, honored.

فَمالِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا قِبَلَكَ مُهطِعينَ

So, why do these unbelievers rush headlong towards you, from every direction?

عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ عِزينَ

From the right and from the left, in droves?

أَيَطمَعُ كُلُّ امرِئٍ مِنهُم أَن يُدخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعيمٍ

Does each one of them aspire to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?

كَلّا ۖ إِنّا خَلَقناهُم مِمّا يَعلَمونَ

No indeed! We created them from what they know.

عَلىٰ أَن نُبَدِّلَ خَيرًا مِنهُم وَما نَحنُ بِمَسبوقينَ

To replace them with others better than them. We are not overtaken.

فَذَرهُم يَخوضوا وَيَلعَبوا حَتّىٰ يُلاقوا يَومَهُمُ الَّذي يوعَدونَ

So, let them indulge and play until they encounter their promised Day.

يَومَ يَخرُجونَ مِنَ الأَجداثِ سِراعًا كَأَنَّهُم إِلىٰ نُصُبٍ يوفِضونَ

The Day they will rush out from the graves, as if they were racing towards a goal post.

خاشِعَةً أَبصارُهُم تَرهَقُهُم ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ اليَومُ الَّذي كانوا يوعَدونَ

Their eyes will be humbled, humiliation will overshadow them. This is the Day they were promised.
