When the Event to happen happens,
2
There is no denying its happening –
3
Abasing some and exalting others;
4
When the earth is shaken with a violent shock;
5
And the mountains are shattered and crumble
6
So they become dust scattered;
7
You (all conscious, responsible beings) will be sorted out into three groups
8
Thus: the people of the Right (the people of happiness and prosperity, who receive their Records in their right hands): how happy and prosperous are the people of the Right!
9
And the people of the Left (the people of wretchedness, who will receive their Records in their left hands): how wretched are the people of the Left!
10
And the foremost (in faith and good deeds, and serving God’s cause) will be the foremost (in receiving and enjoying God’s mercy).
11
Those are the ones near-stationed to God,
12
In Gardens abounding in bounty and blessings.
13
A good many of them are from among the first (to have embraced God’s Religion);
14
And a few from the later (generations).
15
(They will be seated) on lined thrones (encrusted with gold and precious stones),
16
Reclining upon them, facing one another.
17
There will go round them immortal youths,
18
With goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a clear-flowing spring,
19
From which no aching of the head ensues, nor intoxication of the mind;
20
And with fruits such as they choose,
21
And with the flesh of fowls such as they desire;
22
And (there will be) pure maidens, most beautiful of eye,
23
Like pearls kept hidden (in their shells).
24
A reward for all (the good) that they used to do.
25
They will hear there neither vain talk nor accusing speech;
26
(They will hear) only speech (wishing) peace and security after peace and security.
27
And the people of the Right (the people of happiness and prosperity who will receive their Records in their right hands): how happy and prosperous are the people of the Right!
28
Amidst cherry trees laden with fruit,
29
And banana trees with fruit piled high,
30
And shade long-extended,
