خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

The sealing of it is (with) musk. And for that let the aspirers aspire

وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And it is tempered with water coming from above -

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

A fountain from which drink those drawn near (to Allah)

Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And when they passed by them, they winked at one another

Wa-itha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And when they returned to their people, they returned exulting

Wa-itha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And when they saw them, they said: Surely these are in error -

Wa-itha raawhum qaloo inna haola-i ladalloona

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And they were not sent as keepers over them

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

So this day those who believe laugh at the disbelievers -

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

On raised couches, gazing

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
