M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)
15. Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
16. Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
17. Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
18. Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.*
19. And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
20. It is a written book,
21. Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
22. Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
23. On thrones, they shall gaze;
24. You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
25. They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
26. The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
27. And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,**
28. A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
29. Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
30. And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
* Iliyin nobody really knows. The nearest meaning is a record-book of the good or highest places.
** Tasnim nobody really knows. The nearest meaning is a heavenly drink.
