قُلْ Say qul If in is kānat for you lakumu the home l-dāru (of) the Hereafter l-ākhiratu with ʿinda Allah l-lahi exclusively khāliṣatan from min excluding dūni the mankind l-nāsi then wish fatamannawū (for) [the] death l-mawta if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
Say, [O Muḥammad], "If the home of the Hereafter with Allāh is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."
وَلَن And never (will) walan they wish for it yatamannawhu ever abadan because bimā (of what) sent ahead qaddamat their hands aydīhim And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Knower ʿalīmun of the wrongdoers bil-ẓālimīna
But never will they wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ And surely you will find them walatajidannahum (the) most greedy aḥraṣa (of) [the] mankind l-nāsi for ʿalā life ḥayatin and (greedier) than wamina those who alladhīna associate[d] partners (with Allah) ashrakū Loves yawaddu (each) one of them aḥaduhum if law he could be granted a life yuʿammaru (of) a thousand alfa year(s) sanatin But not wamā it huwa (will) remove him bimuzaḥziḥihi from mina the punishment l-ʿadhābi that an he should be granted life yuʿammara And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Seer baṣīrun of what bimā they do yaʿmalūna
And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allāh. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
