فَلَولا إِذا بَلَغَتِ الحُلقومَ

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَأَنتُم حينَئِذٍ تَنظُرونَ

And you are at that time looking on -

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?

فَرَوحٌ وَرَيحانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعيمٍ

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

وَأَمّا إِن كانَ مِن أَصحابِ اليَمينِ

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلامٌ لَكَ مِن أَصحابِ اليَمينِ

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

وَأَمّا إِن كانَ مِنَ المُكَذِّبينَ الضّالّينَ

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

فَنُزُلٌ مِن حَميمٍ

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
