ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!

كـَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena

Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in ´Illiyin.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

And what will explain to thee what ´Illiyun is?

كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ

Kitabun marqoomun

(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,

يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah).

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

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

تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

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

يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ

Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ

Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:

عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,

وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

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

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ

Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

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