مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salat (prayers)
وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
"And we used to belie the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ
As if they were frightened (wild) donkeys.
