أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
For these will be the ones brought nearest to God
فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
in Gardens of Bliss:
ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
many from the past
وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
and a few from later generations.
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ
On couches of well-woven cloth
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ
they will sit facing each other;
يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
everlasting youths will go round among them
بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ
with glasses, flagons, and cups of a pure drink
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
that causes no headache or intoxication;
وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
[there will be] any fruit they choose;
وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ
the meat of any bird they like;
