Who (would) say,
أَءِنَّكَ
"Are you indeed
لَمِنَ
surely of
ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
those who believe?
أَءِذَا
Is (it) when
مِتْنَا
we have died
وَكُنَّا
and become
تُرَابًا
dust
وَعِظَٰمًا
and bones,
أَءِنَّا
will we
لَمَدِينُونَ surely be brought to Judgment?" قَالَ He (will) say, هَلْ "Will أَنتُم you مُّطَّلِعُونَ be looking?" فَٱطَّلَعَ Then he (will) look فَرَءَاهُ and see him فِى in سَوَآءِ (the) midst
ٱلْجَحِيمِ (of) the Hellfire. قَالَ He (will) say, تَٱللَّهِ "By Allah, إِن verily, كِدتَّ you almost لَتُرْدِينِ ruined me. وَلَوْلَا And if not نِعْمَةُ (for the) Grace رَبِّى (of) my Lord,
لَكُنتُ certainly, I (would) have been مِنَ among ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ those brought." أَفَمَا Then are not نَحْنُ we بِمَيِّتِينَ (to) die, إِلَّا Except مَوْتَتَنَا our death
ٱلْأُولَىٰ the first, وَمَا and not نَحْنُ we بِمُعَذَّبِينَ will be punished?" إِنَّ Indeed, هَٰذَا this لَهُوَ surely ٱلْفَوْزُ (is) the attainment ٱلْعَظِيمُ great.
لِمِثْلِ For (the) like هَٰذَا (of) this, فَلْيَعْمَلِ let work ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ the workers. أَذَٰلِكَ Is that خَيْرٌ better نُّزُلًا (as) hospitality أَمْ or شَجَرَةُ (the) tree
ٱلزَّقُّومِ (of) Zaqqum? إِنَّا Indeed, We جَعَلْنَٰهَا [We] have made it فِتْنَةً a trial لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers. إِنَّهَا Indeed, it شَجَرَةٌ (is) a tree

فَإِنَّهُمْ And indeed, they لَءَاكِلُونَ (will) surely eat مِنْهَا from it فَمَالِـُٔونَ and fill مِنْهَا with it ٱلْبُطُونَ (their) bellies. ثُمَّ Then إِنَّ indeed, لَهُمْ for them
عَلَيْهَا in it لَشَوْبًا (is) a mixture مِّنْ of حَمِيمٍ boiling water. ثُمَّ Then إِنَّ indeed, مَرْجِعَهُمْ their return لَإِلَى (will) surely be to ٱلْجَحِيمِ the Hellfire.
إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they أَلْفَوْا۟ found ءَابَآءَهُمْ their fathers ضَآلِّينَ astray. فَهُمْ So they عَلَىٰٓ on ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ their footsteps يُهْرَعُونَ they hastened.
