أَفَرَأَيتَ الَّذي كَفَرَ بِآياتِنا وَقالَ لَأوتَيَنَّ مالًا وَوَلَدًا

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?"

أَطَّلَعَ الغَيبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحمـٰنِ عَهدًا

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

كَلّا ۚ سَنَكتُبُ ما يَقولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ العَذابِ مَدًّا

No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.

وَنَرِثُهُ ما يَقولُ وَيَأتينا فَردًا

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.

وَاتَّخَذوا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لِيَكونوا لَهُم عِزًّا

And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

أَلَم تَرَ أَنّا أَرسَلنَا الشَّياطينَ عَلَى الكافِرينَ تَؤُزُّهُم أَزًّا

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement?

فَلا تَعجَل عَلَيهِم ۖ إِنَّما نَعُدُّ لَهُم عَدًّا

So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number.

يَومَ نَحشُرُ المُتَّقينَ إِلَى الرَّحمـٰنِ وَفدًا

On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation

وَنَسوقُ المُجرِمينَ إِلىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِردًا

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

لا يَملِكونَ الشَّفاعَةَ إِلّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحمـٰنِ عَهدًا

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.
