لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Nay, those who disbelieve give the lie -

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And Allah knows best what they hide

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So announce to them a painful chastisement

Except those who believe and do good -- for them is a reward that shall never be cut off
