84And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾

Wa nahnu aqrabu ilaihi minkum wa laakil laa tubsiroon

فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ ﴿٨٦﴾

Falaw laaa in kuntum ghira madeeneen

86Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾

Tarji'oonahaaa in kuntum saadiqeen

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٩٠﴾

Wa ammaaa in kaana min as haabil yameen

92But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

فَنُزُلٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ﴿٩٣﴾

Fanuzulum min hameem

93Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ ﴿٩٤﴾

Wa tasliyatu jaheem

94And burning in Hellfire

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٩٥﴾

Inna haaza lahuwa haqqul yaqeen

95Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٩٦﴾

Fasabbih bismi rabbikal 'azeem

96So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
