This that I mentioned is the reward of the Mindful. And those who trespass the limits of Allah through disbelief and sins will have a reward different to that of the Mindful, so for them is a bad return they shall return to on the day of judgment.

This [is so]. But the transgressors will surely have the worst return:

This is so! And for the Tâghûn (transgressors, the disobedient to Allâh and His Messenger - disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, criminals) will be an evil final return (Fire).

This (is for the righteous). And lo! for the transgressors there with be an evil journey's end,

Yea, such! but - for the wrong-doers will be an evil place of (Final) Return!-

This (shall be so); and most surely there is an evil resort for the inordinate ones;

This is (for the righteous); and surely for the inordinate (i.e., tyrants) there will indeed be an evil resorting.
