لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

Liashabi alyameeni

For the Companions of the Right Hand.

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Thullatun mina alawwaleena

A (goodly) number from those of old,

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Wathullatun mina alakhireena

And a (goodly) number from those of later times.

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

Waashabu alshshimali ma ashabu alshshimali

The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

Fee samoomin wahameemin

(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

Wathillin min yahmoomin

And in the shades of Black Smoke:

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

La baridin wala kareemin

Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please:

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Innahum kanoo qabla thalika mutrafeena

For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Wakanoo yusirroona AAala alhinthi alAAatheemi

And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
