1
When the inevitable event takes place,
2
and there can be no denying its happening,
3
some shall be abased and others exalted.
4
When the earth is shaken violently,
5
and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces
6
and become like scattered dust particles,
7
(on that Day) you shall be divided into three groups.
8
Those on the Righthow blessed are those on the Right!
9
Those on the Lefthow unlucky are those on the Left!
10
The third to the fore shall be the foremost.
11
They shall be the nearest to God.
12
They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss:
13
a large group of the early believers,
14
and a lesser number from the later generations.
15
Seated on couches wrought in gold and encrusted with precious stones,
16
reclining on them facing each other;
17
they will be waited on by ageless youths
18
carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine,
19
neither causing headaches, nor intoxication;
20
along with fruits of their choice;
21
and the meat of any bird that they may desire;
22
and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes
23
like the pearls in their shells:
24
shall be their recompense for their deeds.
25
They will not hear therein any vain or sinful talk,
26
only the words of peace and tranquillity.
27
Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right!
28
They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns
29
and clustered bananas,
