إِنَّ الَّذينَ أَجرَموا كانوا مِنَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا يَضحَكونَ

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

وَإِذا مَرّوا بِهِم يَتَغامَزونَ

And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

وَإِذَا انقَلَبوا إِلىٰ أَهلِهِمُ انقَلَبوا فَكِهينَ

And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

وَإِذا رَأَوهُم قالوا إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ لَضالّونَ

And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

وَما أُرسِلوا عَلَيهِم حافِظينَ

But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

عَلَى الأَرائِكِ يَنظُرونَ

On adorned couches, observing.

هَل ثُوِّبَ الكُفّارُ ما كانوا يَفعَلونَ

Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
