Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
69 Those who believed in Our signs
and had been muslims.
70 Enter paradise, you and your spouses,
rejoicing’
(they will be served around
with golden dishes and goblets,
and therein 1 will be whatever the souls desire
and eyes delight in)
‘and you will remain in it [forever].
72 That is the paradise you have been given to inherit
for what you used to do.
73 Therein are abundant fruits for you
from which you will eat.’
74 Indeed the guilty
will remain [forever] in the punishment of hell.
75 It will not be lightened for them
and they will be despondent in it.
76 We did not wrong them,
but they themselves were wrongdoers.
77 They will call out, ‘O Mālik!2
Let your Lord finish us off!’
He will say, ‘Indeed you will stay on.’
78 ‘We certainly brought you the truth,
but most of you were averse to the truth.’
79 Have they settled on some [devious] plan?
Indeed We too are settling [on Our plans].
80 Do they suppose that We do not hear
1 That is, in paradise.
2 The name of the angel in charge of hell.
