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,

عَلىٰ سُرُرٍ مَوضونَةٍ

On thrones woven [with ornament],

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

وَلَحمِ طَيرٍ مِمّا يَشتَهونَ

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
