8 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?
9 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand ?
10 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:
11 Those are they who will be brought nigh18 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring
19 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,
20 And fruit that they prefer22 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,
23 Like unto hidden pearls,25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination
26 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.
27 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?
28 Among thornless lote-trees41 And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand ?
42 In scorching wind and scalding water47 And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,
48 And also our forefathers ?49 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time
50 Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.
51 Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,56 This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.
57 We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?60 We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,
61 That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.
62 And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?
63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?64 Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ?
65 If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:
66 Lo! we are laden with debt!69 Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ?
70 If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?
71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;72 Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?
73 We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.
74 Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
75 Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -76 And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
77 That (this) is indeed a noble Quran83 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
84 And ye are at that moment looking85 - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -
86 Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),89 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
90 And if he is of those on the right hand,91 Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.
92 But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,96 Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
