M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

48. And remember Ismail and Al-Yasha and Zulkifl; and they were all of the best.

49. This is a reminder; and most surely there is an excellent resort for those who guard (against evil),

50. The gardens of perpetuity, the doors are opened for them.

51. Reclining therein, calling therein for many fruits and drink.

52. And with them shall be those restraining their eyes, equals in age.

53. This is what you are promised for the day of reckoning.

54. Most surely this is Our sustenance; it shall never come to an end;

55. This (shall be so); and most surely there is an evil resort for the inordinate ones;

56. Hell; they shall enter it, so evil is the resting-place.

57. This (shall be so); so let them taste it, boiling and intensely cold (drink).

58. And other (punishment) of the same kind — of various sorts.

59. This is an army plunging in without consideration along with you; no welcome for them, surely they shall enter fire.

60. They shall say: Nay! you — no welcome to you: you did proffer it to us, so evil is the resting-place.

61. They shall say: Our Lord! whoever prepared it first for us, add Thou to him a double chastisement in the fire.
