a multitude of the ancients, 39 And a multitude from the later generations. 40 And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand? 41 mid burning winds and boiling waters 42 And a shade of black smoke, 43 Neither cool nor refreshing. 44 Verily they have been heretofore affluent. 45 But persisted in that greater sin, 46 and would say: "What! After we have died and become mere dust and bones, shall we, forsooth, be raised from the dead? 47 And also our forefathers?" 48 Say: 'The ancients, and the later folk 49 "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known. 50 Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers, 51 you will indeed have to taste of the tree of deadly fruit, 52 "Then you will fill your bellies therewith, 53 Then drink over it of boiling water; 54 like a thirsty camel". 55 That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense! 56 We have created you: why then do you not accept the truth? 57 Have you ever considered that [seed] which you emit? 58 did you create it or did We? 59 We have destined death for you and no one can challenge Us 60 That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not. 61 You certainly knew about (your) first development.
