۞ WHEN THAT which must come to pass [at last] comes to pass, 1 And there can be no denying of its befalling. 2 Degrading (some) and exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken with convulsion 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 Becoming dust scattered abroad, 6 you shall be divided into three parties, 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 and the Outstrippers: the Outstrippers 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 A multitude of those of old 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 Reclining on them, facing one another. 16 immortal youths going round about them 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of limpid drink. 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 along with fruits of their choice; 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 Nought but the saying: peace! peace! 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 And a shade ever-spread. 30 and outpoured waters, 31 and fruit abounding, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 Indeed We formed them (the houris and all believing women), 35 And made them virgins, 36 loving companions, matching in age, 37 For those on the right. 38
