۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 Degrading (some) and exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken with convulsion 4 and the mountains fragmented 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 And the Outstrippers, the Outstrippers 10 Those are they who will be brought nigh 11 in the Gardens of Bliss. 12 A multitude from the ancients. 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 on lavish couches 15 facing one another. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 like pearls preserved in their shells, 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 Except the word peace, peace. 26 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 27 Among thorn-less lote-trees. 28 Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,- 29 and extended shade, 30 And water poured out 31 and abundant fruit, 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 and upraised couches. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 And made them virgins. 36 Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. 37 For those on the right hand; 38
