مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ﴿٢٥﴾

What aileth you that ye help not one another?

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ﴿٢٦﴾

Nay, but this day they make full submission.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ﴿٢٧﴾

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ﴿٢٨﴾

They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٢٩﴾

They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ﴿٣٠﴾

We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ﴿٣١﴾

Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).

فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ﴿٣٢﴾

Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ﴿٣٣﴾

Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ﴿٣٤﴾

Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ﴿٣٥﴾

For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ﴿٣٦﴾

And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ﴿٣٧﴾

Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ﴿٣٨﴾

Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴿٣٩﴾

Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ﴿٤٠﴾

Save single-minded slaves of Allah;

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ﴿٤١﴾

For them there is a known provision,

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ﴿٤٢﴾

Fruits. And they will be honoured

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿٤٣﴾

In the Gardens of delight,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ﴿٤٤﴾

On couches facing one another;

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ﴿٤٥﴾

A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ﴿٤٦﴾

White, delicious to the drinkers,

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ﴿٤٧﴾

Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ﴿٤٨﴾

And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ﴿٤٩﴾

(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ﴿٥٠﴾

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ﴿٥١﴾

A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
