Surah Al-Insan — 76:20

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا

Wa izaa ra ayta summa ra ayta na'eemanw wa mulkan kabeera

اور بہشت میں (جہاں) آنکھ اٹھاؤ گے کثرت سے نعمت اور عظیم (الشان) سلطنت دیکھو گے

And when you look there, you will see bliss and a vast kingdom.

Reflection

For two verses the surah puts a viewer inside the garden. Everything around this line describes the dwellers as they, and at 76:19 the address turns to you, seeing the youths and taking them for scattered pearls; here you look again, and at the next verse the description hands itself back to them. Whether the vast kingdom at the end belongs to those being served or covers the place they are in has been argued both ways.
