إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كانَت مِرصادًا

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِلطّاغينَ مَآبًا

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لابِثينَ فيها أَحقابًا

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لا يَذوقونَ فيها بَردًا وَلا شَرابًا

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلّا حَميمًا وَغَسّاقًا

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

إِنَّهُم كانوا لا يَرجونَ حِسابًا

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا كِذّابًا

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيءٍ أَحصَيناهُ كِتابًا

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذوقوا فَلَن نَزيدَكُم إِلّا عَذابًا

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

إِنَّ لِلمُتَّقينَ مَفازًا

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
