عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ عِزينَ

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

أَيَطمَعُ كُلُّ امرِئٍ مِنهُم أَن يُدخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعيمٍ

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

كَلّا ۖ إِنّا خَلَقناهُم مِمّا يَعلَمونَ

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

فَلا أُقسِمُ بِرَبِّ المَشارِقِ وَالمَغارِبِ إِنّا لَقادِرونَ

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

عَلىٰ أَن نُبَدِّلَ خَيرًا مِنهُم وَما نَحنُ بِمَسبوقينَ

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

يَومَ يَخرُجونَ مِنَ الأَجداثِ سِراعًا كَأَنَّهُم إِلىٰ نُصُبٍ يوفِضونَ

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

خاشِعَةً أَبصارُهُم تَرهَقُهُم ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ اليَومُ الَّذي كانوا يوعَدونَ

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
