۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is no belying its coming to pass-- 2 (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt; 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 They are in Gardens of peace. 12 a host of the ancients 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 On thrones decorated, 15 reclining upon them, set face to face, 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), 22 The likenesses of pearls well-protected, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 And those on the Right Hand, Who will be those on the Right Hand? 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 And clusters of banana plants. 29 And extended shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Loving, of equal age. 37 For those on the right. 38
