Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat
وَأَنتُمْ And you wa-antum (at) that time ḥīna-idhin look on tanẓurūna
And you are at that time looking on -
وَنَحْنُ And We wanaḥnu (are) nearer aqrabu to him ilayhi than you minkum but walākin you (do) not see lā you (do) not see tub'ṣirūna
And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
فَلَوْلَآ Then why not falawlā if in you are kuntum not ghayra to be recompensed madīnīna
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ Bring it back tarjiʿūnahā if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
