طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
(37:65) Its spathes are like the heads of satans.6
فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ
(37:66) (The people of Hell) will surely eat of it, filling their bellies
with it.
with it.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ
(37:67) Then on top of it they will have a brew of boiling water.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
(37:68) Then their return will be to the same blazing Hell.7
إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ
(37:69) These are the ones who found their fathers steeped in error,
فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ
(37:70) and they are running in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
(37:71) Before them a multitude of people of olden times had erred,
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
(37:72) and We had sent among them Messengers to warn them.
