27 And pleasant things wherein they took delight!

Transliteration

27 WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena

Pickthall

28 Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;

Transliteration

28 Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena

Pickthall

29 And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

Transliteration

29 Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena

47 (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,

Transliteration

47 Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi

Pickthall

48 Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.

Transliteration

48 Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi

Pickthall

49 (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

Transliteration

Pickthall

53 Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.

Transliteration

Pickthall

55 They call therein for every fruit in safety.

Transliteration

55 YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena

Pickthall

56 They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,

Transliteration

56 La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi

Pickthall

57 A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.

Transliteration
