كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

A spring from which those near-stationed to God drink

AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ

Those who disbelieved and were committed to accumulating sin used to laugh at those who believed

And when they returned to their families, they would return full of quips (about how they mocked the believers)

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ

Yet they were not appointed as keepers over them (that they should presume to pass judgment on them)

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

So on this Day (of Judgment) those who believed will laugh at the unbelievers

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On thrones, looking on (at the condition of the unbelievers in Hell)
