لا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا المُطَهَّرونَ

None touch it except the purified.

تَنزيلٌ مِن رَبِّ العالَمينَ

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

أَفَبِهـٰذَا الحَديثِ أَنتُم مُدهِنونَ

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجعَلونَ رِزقَكُم أَنَّكُم تُكَذِّبونَ

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

فَلَولا إِذا بَلَغَتِ الحُلقومَ

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَنَحنُ أَقرَبُ إِلَيهِ مِنكُم وَلـٰكِن لا تُبصِرونَ

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

فَلَولا إِن كُنتُم غَيرَ مَدينينَ

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

تَرجِعونَها إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَأَمّا إِن كانَ مِنَ المُقَرَّبينَ

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

فَرَوحٌ وَرَيحانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعيمٍ

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
