وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ Qur’an At-Tur (52:24)
Waya t oofu AAalayhim ghilm a nun lahum kaannahum luluon maknoon un
And they will be waited upon by [immortal] youths,12 [as if they were children] of their own,13 [as pure] as if they were pearls hidden in their shells.
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

See note [6] on {56:17-18}.

Thus Razi, explaining the selfless devotion implied in the pronoun lahum (lit., "for them" i.e., "of their own").

and there shall wait for them young boys, exclusively appointed for their service, who will be as handsome as treasured pearls.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And they will be waited on by their youthful servants like spotless pearls.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Round about them will serve (devoted) to them youths (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded. 5058
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Maknun: well-guarded, kept close, concealed from exposure: the beautiful nacreous lustre of Pearls is disfigured by exposure to gases, vapours, or acids; when not actually in use they are best kept in closed caskets, guarded from deteriorating agencies.
