Sura 37: AS-SAAFFAT (THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS) - Juz' 23 - Translation Pickthall

لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ ﴿۶۱﴾
For the like of this, then, let the workers work. (61)
أَذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ ﴿۶۲﴾
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum? (62)
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ ﴿۶۳﴾
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers. (63)
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۶۴﴾
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell. (64)
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ ﴿۶۵﴾
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils (65)
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَآكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ ﴿۶۶﴾
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith. (66)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِنْ حَمِيمٍ ﴿۶۷﴾
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water (67)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۶۸﴾
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell. (68)
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ ﴿۶۹﴾
They indeed found their fathers astray, (69)
فَهُمْ عَلَى آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ﴿۷۰﴾
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. (70)
