لِمَن شاءَ مِنكُم أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَو يَتَأَخَّرَ

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت رَهينَةٌ

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلّا أَصحابَ اليَمينِ

Except the companions of the right,

في جَنّاتٍ يَتَساءَلونَ

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

عَنِ المُجرِمينَ

About the criminals,

قالوا لَم نَكُ مِنَ المُصَلّينَ

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَم نَكُ نُطعِمُ المِسكينَ

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنّا نَخوضُ مَعَ الخائِضينَ

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَومِ الدّينِ

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتّىٰ أَتانَا اليَقينُ

Until there came to us the certainty."
