لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool nor refreshing.


إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury


وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

And used to persist in the awful sin.


وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,


أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And also our forefathers?


قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time


لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.


ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,


لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum
