   Indeed a triumph awaits the Godwary:

   32

   gardens and vineyards,

   ḥadāʾiqa wa-ʾaʿnāban

   33

   and buxom maidens of a like age,

   wa-kawāʿiba ʾatrāban

4. وكأسا دهاقا

   34

   and brimming cups.

   wa-kaʾsan dihāqan

   Therein they shall hear neither vain talk nor lies

   lā yasmaʿūna fīhā laghwan wa-lā kidhdhāban

   —a reward and a sufficing bounty from your Lord,

   jazāʾan min rabbika ʿaṭāʾan ḥisāban

7. رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما الرحمن لا يملكون منه خطابا

   37

   the All-beneficent, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. They will not be able to address Him

   rabbi s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-mā baynahumā r-raḥmāni lā yamlikūna minhu khiṭāban

8. يوم يقوم الروح والملائكة صفا لا يتكلمون إلا من أذن له الرحمن وقال صوابا

   38

   on the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in an array: none shall speak except someone who is permitted by the All-beneficent and says what is rightful.

   yawma yaqūmu r-rūḥu wa-l-malāʾikatu ṣaffan lā yatakallamūna ʾillā man ʾadhina lahu r-raḥmānu wa-qāla ṣawāban

9. ذلك اليوم الحق فمن شاء اتخذ إلى ربه مآبا

10. إنا أنذرناكم عذابا قريبا يوم ينظر المرء ما قدمت يداه ويقول الكافر يا ليتني كنت ترابا

    40

    Indeed We have warned you of a punishment near at hand—the day when a person will observe what his hands have sent ahead and the faithless one will say, ‘I wish I were dust!’

    ʾinnā ʾandharnākum ʿadhāban qarīban yawma yanẓuru l-marʾu mā qaddamat yadāhu wa-yaqūlu l-kāfiru yā-laytanī kuntu turāban
