وَمَنْ And who waman (is) more wrong aẓlamu than (he) who mimman is reminded dhukkira of the Verses biāyāti (of) his Lord rabbihi but turns away fa-aʿraḍa from them ʿanhā and forgets wanasiya what mā have sent forth qaddamat his hands yadāhu Indeed, We innā [We] have placed jaʿalnā over ʿalā their hearts qulūbihim coverings akinnatan lest an they understand it yafqahūhu and in wafī their ears ādhānihim (is) deafness waqran And if wa-in you call them tadʿuhum to ilā the guidance l-hudā then never falan they will be guided yahtadū then idhan ever abadan
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord warabbuka (is) the Most Forgiving l-ghafūru Owner dhū (of) the Mercy l-raḥmati If law He were to seize them yuākhidhuhum for what bimā they have earned kasabū surely, He (would) have hastened laʿajjala for them lahumu the punishment l-ʿadhāba But bal for them lahum (is) an appointment mawʿidun never lan they will find yajidū other than it min other than it dūnihi an escape mawilan
And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
وَتِلْكَ And these watil'ka [the] towns l-qurā We destroyed them ahlaknāhum when lammā they wronged ẓalamū and We made wajaʿalnā for their destruction limahlikihim an appointed time mawʿidan
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
