Then, surely they will indeed burn in the hell,

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

and it will be said to them: “This is what you used to deny!”

though they (disbelievers) had not been sent over them (believers) as watchers.

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

On that Day (the Day of Resurrection) the believers will laugh at the disbelievers,

Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

as they recline on high couches and look (at then saying):

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

“Are not the disbelievers rewarded for what they used to do?”

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
