فَيَقولوا هَل نَحنُ مُنظَرونَ

Then, they will exclaim, “Could we be given more time?”

أَفَبِعَذابِنا يَستَعجِلونَ

Are they trying to expedite Our punishment?

أَفَرَأَيتَ إِن مَتَّعناهُم سِنينَ

Consider this: even if We were to grant them enjoyment for years.

ثُمَّ جاءَهُم ما كانوا يوعَدونَ

Then, what they were promised will come upon them.

ما أَغنىٰ عَنهُم ما كانوا يُمَتَّعونَ

All their enjoyed comforts won’t avail them.

ذِكرىٰ وَما كُنّا ظالِمينَ

As a reminder, for We were never unjust.

وَما تَنَزَّلَت بِهِ الشَّياطينُ

It is not revealed by the devils.

وَما يَنبَغي لَهُم وَما يَستَطيعونَ

It is neither in their interest nor within their power.

إِنَّهُم عَنِ السَّمعِ لَمَعزولونَ

They are barred from hearing.

فَلا تَدعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلـٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبينَ

So don’t call upon any other god with God, lest you be among the tormented.
