Falaw laaa izaa balaghatil hulqoom

And you are at that time looking on -

Wa antum heena'izin tanzuroon

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

Falaw laaa in kuntum ghira madeeneen

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

Tarji'oonahaaa in kuntum saadiqeen

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

Fa ammaaa in kaana minal muqarrabeen

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

Farawhunw wa raihaa nunw wa jannatu na'eem

And if he was of the companions of the right,

Wa ammaaa in kaana min as haabil yameen

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

Fasalaamul laka min as haabil yameen

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

Wa ammaaa in kaana minal mukazzibeenad daaalleen

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

Fanuzulum min hameem

And burning in Hellfire

Wa tasliyatu jaheem

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

Inna haaza lahuwa haqqul yaqeen

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
