إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
wink to one another whenever they passed by,
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ
and muse ˹over these exploits˺ upon returning to their own people.
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And when they saw the faithful, they would say, “These ˹people˺ are truly astray,”
وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ
even though they were not sent as keepers over the believers.
فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ
But on that Day the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers,
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on.
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ
˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
