وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā touches massa the man l-insāna the affliction l-ḍuru he calls Us daʿānā (lying) on his side lijanbihi or aw sitting qāʿidan or aw standing qāiman But when falammā We remove kashafnā from him ʿanhu his affliction ḍurrahu he passes on marra as if he ka-an (had) not lam called Us yadʿunā for ilā (the) affliction ḍurrin (that) touched him massahu Thus kadhālika (it) is made fair seeming zuyyina to the extravagant lil'mus'rifīna what mā they used (to) kānū do yaʿmalūna
And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus is made pleasing to the transgressors that which they have been doing.
