وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ
And as for those given their record in their left hand, they will cry ˹bitterly˺, “I wish I had not been given my record,
وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ
nor known anything of my reckoning!
يَٰلَيۡتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلۡقَاضِيَةَ
I wish death was the end!
مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنِّي مَالِيَهۡۜ
My wealth has not benefited me!
هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلۡطَٰنِيَهۡ
My authority has been stripped from me.”
خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ
˹It will be said,˺ “Seize and shackle them,
ثُمَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ
then burn them in Hell,
ثُمَّ فِي سِلۡسِلَةٖ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعٗا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ
then tie them up with chains seventy arms long.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
For they never had faith in Allah, the Greatest,
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ
nor encouraged the feeding of the poor.
