فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُواْ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ ١٩

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

69:20Page 567

إِنِّي ظَنَنتُ أَنِّي مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهۡ ٢٠

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

69:21Page 567

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ ٢١

So he will be in a pleasant life -

69:22Page 567

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٖ ٢٢

In an elevated garden,

69:23Page 567

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٞ ٢٣

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth¹ in the days past."

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

69:26Page 567

وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ ٢٦

And had not known what is my account.

69:27Page 567

I wish it [i.e., my death] had been the decisive one.¹
