Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

Our Lord,
forgive us our sins
and absolve us of our misdeeds,
and make us die with the pious.
194 Our Lord, give us
what You have promised us through Your apostles,
and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection.
Indeed You do not break Your promise.’
195 Then their Lord answered them,
‘I do not waste the work of any worker among you,
whether male or female;
you are all on the same footing.
So those who migrated
and were expelled from their homes,
and were tormented in My way,
and those who fought and were killed
— I will surely absolve them of their misdeeds
and I will admit them into gardens
with streams running in them,
as a reward from Allah,
and Allah — with Him is the best of rewards.’

196 Never be misled by the bustle of the faithless
in the towns.
197 It is a trivial enjoyment;
then their refuge is hell,
and it is an evil resting place.
198 But those who are wary of their Lord
— for them shall be gardens
with streams running in them,
