۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 The People on the Right: and how fortunate will be the People on the Right! 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 In the Gardens of Pleasure, 12 a host of the ancients 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 [They will be seated] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 (and there) shall wait on them immortal youths 17 Carrying bowls and pitchers – and cups filled with wine flowing before them. 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 and with fruit of any kind that they may choose, 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 The Companions of the Right 27 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,- 29 and extended shade, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 Unending, unforbidden, 33 And raised couches; 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 And made them virgins, 36 Loving, of equal age. 37 for the people of the right hand 38
