O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority [from Allah]
يُرۡسَلُ عَلَيۡكُمَا شُوَاظٞ مِّن نَّارٖ وَنُحَاسٞ فَلَا تَنتَصِرَانِ
There will be sent upon you a flame of fire and smoke, and you will not defend yourselves

This is Hell, which the criminals deny
يَطُوفُونَ بَيۡنَهَا وَبَيۡنَ حَمِيمٍ ءَانٖ
They will go around between it and scalding water, heated [to the utmost degree]
وَلِمَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ جَنَّتَانِ

ذَوَاتَآ أَفۡنَانٖ
Having [spreading] branches
فِيهِمَا عَيۡنَانِ تَجۡرِيَانِ

In them are women limiting [their] glances, untouched before them by man or jinni
كَأَنَّهُنَّ ٱلۡيَاقُوتُ وَٱلۡمَرۡجَانُ
As if they were rubies and coral

مُدۡهَآمَّتَانِ
Dark green [in color]
فِيهِمَا عَيۡنَانِ نَضَّاخَتَانِ

Fair ones reserved in pavilions
لَمۡ يَطۡمِثۡهُنَّ إِنسٞ قَبۡلَهُمۡ وَلَا جَآنّٞ
Untouched before them by man or jinni

Reclining on green cushions and beautiful fine carpets
