فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.
Fashariboona shurba alheemi

This is their entertainment on the day of requital.
Hatha nuzuluhum yawma alddeeni
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
We have created you, why do you not then assent?
Nahnu khalaqnakum falawla tusaddiqoona
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
Have you considered the seed?
Afaraaytum ma tumnoona
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
Is it you that create it or are We the creators?
Aantum takhluqoonahu am nahnu alkhaliqoona
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ
We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,
Nahnu qaddarna baynakumu almawta wama nahnu bimasbooqeena
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not.
AAala an nubaddila amthalakum wanunshiakum fee ma la taAAlamoona
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?
Walaqad AAalimtumu alnnashata aloola falawla tathakkaroona
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Have you considered what you sow?
Afaraaytum ma tahruthoona
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth?
Aantum tazraAAoonahu am nahnu alzzariAAoona
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament:
Law nashao lajaAAalnahu hutaman fathaltum tafakkahoona
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
Surely we are burdened with debt:
Inna lamughramoona
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Nay! we are deprived.
Bal nahnu mahroomoona
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

Afaraaytumu almaa allathee tashraboona
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders?
Aantum anzaltumoohu mina almuzni am nahnu almunziloona
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?
Law nashao jaAAalnahu ojajan falawla tashkuroona
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Have you considered the fire which you strike?
Afaraaytumu alnnara allatee tooroona
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?
Aantum anshatum shajarataha am nahnu almunshioona
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.
Nahnu jaAAalnaha tathkiratan wamataAAan lilmuqweena
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;
Fala oqsimu bimawaqiAAi alnnujoomi
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew;
Wainnahu laqasamun law taAAlamoona AAatheemun
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
Most surely it is an honored Quran,
Innahu laquranun kareemun
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
In a book that is protected
Fee kitabin maknoonin
فِى كِتَٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
None shall touch it save the purified ones.
La yamassuhu illa almutahharoona
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.
Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?
Afabihatha alhadeethi antum mudhinoona
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.
WatajAAaloona rizqakum annakum tukaththiboona
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,
Falawla itha balaghati alhulqooma
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
And you at that time look on - -
Waantum heenaithin tanthuroona
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see - -
Wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi minkum walakin la tubsiroona
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
Then why is it not - - if you are not held under authority - -
Falawla in kuntum ghayra madeeneena
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
That you send it (not) back - - if you are truthful?
TarjiAAoonaha in kuntum sadiqeena
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),
Faamma in kana mina almuqarrabeena
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.
Farawhun warayhanun wajannatu naAAeemin
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
And if he is one of those on the right hand,
Waamma in kana min ashabi alyameeni
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Then peace to you from those on the right hand.
Fasalamun laka min ashabi alyameeni
فَسَلَٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,
Waamma in kana mina almukaththibeena alddalleena
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,
Fanuzulun min hameemin
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
And burning in hell.
Watasliyatu jaheemin
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
Most surely this is a certain truth.
Inna hatha lahuwa haqqu alyaqeeni
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
