4 Tasla naran hamiyatan

5 They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

5 Drinking from a boiling spring,

5 Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

6 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

6 No food for them save bitter thorn - fruit

6 Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

7 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

10 In an elevated garden,

10 In a high Garden

10 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

11 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

11 Where they hear no idle speech,

11 La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

12 Within it is a flowing spring.

12 Wherein is a gushing spring,

17 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

17 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?

17 Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

18 And at the sky - how it is raised?

18 And the heaven, how it is raised ?

18 Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

19 And at the mountains - how they are erected?

19 Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

21 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

21 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

21 Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

22 You are not over them a controller.

22 Thou art not at all a warder over them.

22 Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

23 However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

23 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

23 Illa man tawalla wakafara

24 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

24 Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

24 FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

25 Lo! unto Us is their return

25 Inna ilayna iyabahum

26 Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

26 And Ours their reckoning.

26 Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
