Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed

They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining

Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask

The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace

But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day

Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe

But that ye worship Me? That was the right path

Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense

This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him)

Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved

This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn

And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen

And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back

He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense

And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain

To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers
