That accursed are the men of the trenc

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

Full of fire fed by faggots

Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

As they sat around i

Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

Witnessing what they had done to the believers

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmu/mineena shuhoodun

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise

Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yu/minoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success
