وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ
And neglect the Hereafter.
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ
That day will faces be resplendent,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ
Looking toward their Lord;
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ
And that day will other faces be despondent,
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ
Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ
Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat
وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ
And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)?
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ
And he knoweth that it is the parting;
وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
And agony is heaped on agony;
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ
Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
For he neither trusted, nor prayed.
