Those are the people for whom there is a known provision, 42. the fruits; and they will be honored 43. in Gardens of Bliss 44. facing each other on couches. 45. They will be served with a cup from a flowing drink, 46. (that will be) white (and) delicious for those who drink. 47. There will be no headache therein, nor will they be intoxicated with it, 48. and by their side there will be females restricting their gazes (to their husbands), having pretty big eyes, 49. as if they were eggs hidden (under feathers, protected from pollution). 50. Then they will turn to each other asking questions mutually. 51. A speaker from them will say, “I had a companion (in the worldly life) 52. who used to say (to me), “Are you one of those who believe? 53. Is it when we have died and become dust and bones?
