And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

Wa ka'san di haaqa

And a full cup.

Laa yasma'oona fiha lagh waw walaa kizzaba

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood –

Jazaa-am mir-rabbika ataa-an hisaaba

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

Rabbis samaa waati wal ardi wa maa baina humar rahmaani laa yam likoona minhu khitaaba

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

Yauma yaqoo mur roohu wal malaa-ikatu saf-fal laa yatakallamoona ill-laa man azina lahur rahmaanu wa qaala sawaaba

The Day that the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

Zaalikal yaumul haqqu faman shaa-at ta khaaza ill-laa rabbihi ma-aaba

That is the True [i.e., certain] Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
