وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ
a fate ˹already˺ sealed,
يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺.
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Surely the virtuous will be in bliss,
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around.
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ
They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine,
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺.
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ
And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—
عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.
