وَالسّابِقونَ السّابِقونَ

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُولـٰئِكَ المُقَرَّبونَ

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

في جَنّاتِ النَّعيمِ

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الأَوَّلينَ

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَليلٌ مِنَ الآخِرينَ

And a few of the later peoples,

مُتَّكِئينَ عَلَيها مُتَقابِلينَ

Reclining on them, facing each other.

يَطوفُ عَلَيهِم وِلدانٌ مُخَلَّدونَ

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكوابٍ وَأَباريقَ وَكَأسٍ مِن مَعينٍ

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

لا يُصَدَّعونَ عَنها وَلا يُنزِفونَ

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

وَفاكِهَةٍ مِمّا يَتَخَيَّرونَ

And fruit of what they select
