Wa as haabush shimaali maaa as haabush shimaal
And the companions of the left – what are the companions of the left?
Fee samoominw wa hameem
[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
Laa baaridinw wa laa kareem
Neither cool nor beneficial.
Innaahum kaanoo qabla zaalika mutrafeen
Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
Wa kaanoo yusirroona 'alal hinsil 'azeem
And they used to persist in the great violation,
Wa kaanoo yaqooloona a'izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa izaaman'ainnaa lamab'oosoon
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
Awa aabaaa'unal awwaloon
And our forefathers [as well]?"
Qul innal awwaleena wal aakhireen
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
Lamajmoo'oona ilaa meeqaati yawmim ma'loon
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
