إِنَّ هـٰذا لَهُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

لِمِثلِ هـٰذا فَليَعمَلِ العامِلونَ

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

أَذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ نُزُلًا أَم شَجَرَةُ الزَّقّومِ

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

إِنّا جَعَلناها فِتنَةً لِلظّالِمينَ

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

إِنَّها شَجَرَةٌ تَخرُجُ في أَصلِ الجَحيمِ

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

فَإِنَّهُم لَآكِلونَ مِنها فَمالِئونَ مِنهَا البُطونَ

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُم عَلَيها لَشَوبًا مِن حَميمٍ

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرجِعَهُم لَإِلَى الجَحيمِ

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

إِنَّهُم أَلفَوا آباءَهُم ضالّينَ

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

فَهُم عَلىٰ آثارِهِم يُهرَعونَ

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
