23 On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):

Transliteration

24 Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.

Yusuf Ali

30 And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);

Transliteration

30 Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

Yusuf Ali

31 And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

Transliteration

31 Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

Yusuf Ali

32 And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"

Transliteration

32 Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

Yusuf Ali

33 But they had not been sent as keepers over them!

Transliteration

33 Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

Yusuf Ali

34 But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:

Transliteration

Yusuf Ali

35 On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).

Transliteration

35 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

Yusuf Ali
