But when
رَأَوْهُ
they (will) see it
زُلْفَةً
approaching,
سِيٓـَٔتْ
(will be) distressed
وُجُوهُ
(the) faces
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَفَرُوا۟
disbelieved,
وَقِيلَ
and it will be said,
هَٰذَا
"This
ٱلَّذِى
(is) that which
كُنتُم
you used to
بِهِۦ for it تَدَّعُونَ call." قُلْ Say, أَرَءَيْتُمْ "Have you seen, إِنْ if أَهْلَكَنِىَ destroys me ٱللَّهُ Allah وَمَن and whoever مَّعِىَ (is) with me أَوْ or رَحِمَنَا has mercy upon us,
فَمَن then who يُجِيرُ (can) protect ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers مِنْ from عَذَابٍ a punishment أَلِيمٍ painful." قُلْ Say, هُوَ "He ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ (is) the Most Gracious;
ءَامَنَّا we believe بِهِۦ in Him, وَعَلَيْهِ and upon Him تَوَكَّلْنَا we put (our) trust. فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ So you will know مَنْ who هُوَ (is) it فِى (that is) in ضَلَٰلٍ error مُّبِينٍ clear."
قُلْ Say, أَرَءَيْتُمْ "Have you seen, إِنْ if أَصْبَحَ becomes مَآؤُكُمْ your water غَوْرًا sunken, فَمَن then who يَأْتِيكُم could bring you بِمَآءٍ water مَّعِينٍۭ flowing?"
لَكَ for you لَأَجْرًا surely (is) a reward غَيْرَ without مَمْنُونٍ end. وَإِنَّكَ And indeed, you لَعَلَىٰ surely (are) خُلُقٍ (of) a moral character عَظِيمٍ great. فَسَتُبْصِرُ So you will see
وَيُبْصِرُونَ and they will see, بِأَييِّكُمُ Which of you ٱلْمَفْتُونُ (is) the afflicted one. إِنَّ Indeed, رَبَّكَ your Lord, هُوَ He أَعْلَمُ (is) most knowing بِمَن of (he) who ضَلَّ has strayed
