WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin
وزروع ومقام كريم
And pleasant things wherein they took delight!
WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena
ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين

And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.
Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena
وما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين

Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni
كالمهل يغلي في البطون
As the seething of boiling water.
Kaghalyi alhameemi
كغلي الحميم
(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,
Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi
خذوه فاعتلوه إلى سواء الجحيم
