"When the Event comes to pass -- There is no belying its coming to pass, Abasing (some), exalting (others), When the earth is shaken with a (severe) shaking, And the mountains are crumbled to pieces, So they are as scattered dust, And you are three sorts. So those on the right-hand how (happy) are those on the right-hand! And those on the left; how (wretched) are those on the left! And the foremost are the foremost -- These are drawn nigh (to Allah). In Gardens of bliss A multitude from among the first, And a few from among those of later times, On thrones inwrought, Reclining on them, facing each other. Round about them will go youths never altering in age, With goblets and ewers, and a cup of pure drink -- They are not affected with headache thereby, nor are they intoxicated, And fruits that they choose, And flesh of fowl that they desire, And pure, beautiful ones, Like to hidden pearls. A reward for what they did. They hear therein no vain or sinful talk -- But only the saying, Peace! Peace! And those on the right hand; how (happy) are those on the right hand! Amid thornless lote-trees, And clustered banana-trees, And extensive shade, And water gushing, And abundant fruit. Neither intercepted, nor forbidden, And exalted couches. Surely We have created them a (new) creation, So We have made them virgins, Loving, equals in age, For those on the right hand. A multitude from among the first, And a multitude from among those of later times. And those on the left hand; how (wretched) are those on the left hand! In hot wind and boiling water, And shadow of black smoke, Neither cool nor refreshing. Surely they lived before that in ease. And they persisted in the great violation. And they used to say: When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised? Or our fathers of yore? Say: The ancients and those of later times Will surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day. Then shall you, O you who err and deny, Eat of the tree of Zaqqum, And fill (your) bellies with it Then drink after it of boiling water; And drink as drinks the thirsty camel. This is their entertainment on the day of Requital."
