۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 there is no denying its coming 2 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), 3 When the earth is shaken violently, 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And you will become divided into three categories. 7 Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 8 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 In gardens of bliss [will they dwell] 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 And a few from the latter. 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 18 Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses. 19 And fruit of what they select 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 The likenesses of pearls well-protected, 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 They will live amid the thornless lot trees 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 In shade long-extended, 30 And water everflowing. 31 And fruit in plenty 32 Unending, unforbidden, 33 on raised couches. 34 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, 35 having resurrected them as virgins, 36 intensely loving and of matching age. 37 For those on the right. 38
