وَلا يَسأَلُ حَميمٌ حَميمًا

No friend will ask of a friend.

يُبَصَّرونَهُم ۚ يَوَدُّ المُجرِمُ لَو يَفتَدي مِن عَذابِ يَومِئِذٍ بِبَنيهِ

Although they will be shown to each other, the criminal would wish to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by offering his children.

وَصاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخيهِ

And his girlfriend and his brother.

وَفَصيلَتِهِ الَّتي تُؤويهِ

And his family that sheltered him.

وَمَن فِي الأَرضِ جَميعًا ثُمَّ يُنجيهِ

And all the people on earth, if it would only save him.

نَزّاعَةً لِلشَّوىٰ

Stripping away the scalps.

تَدعو مَن أَدبَرَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

Calling those who turned their backs and fled.

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوعىٰ

And hoarded and stored away.

إِنَّ الإِنسانَ خُلِقَ هَلوعًا

Man was created anxious.

إِذا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزوعًا

Agitated when misfortune touches him.
