إِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِ آياتُنا قالَ أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

كَلّا ۖ بَل ۜ رانَ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم ما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.

كَلّا إِنَّهُم عَن رَبِّهِم يَومَئِذٍ لَمَحجوبونَ

No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُم لَصالُو الجَحيمِ

Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

ثُمَّ يُقالُ هـٰذَا الَّذي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبونَ

Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

وَما أَدراكَ ما عِلِّيّونَ

And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?

كِتابٌ مَرقومٌ

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

يَشهَدُهُ المُقَرَّبونَ

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].

إِنَّ الأَبرارَ لَفي نَعيمٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

عَلَى الأَرائِكِ يَنظُرونَ

On adorned couches, observing.
