فَما لَهُم عَنِ التَّذكِرَةِ مُعرِضينَ

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُم حُمُرٌ مُستَنفِرَةٌ

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّت مِن قَسوَرَةٍ

Fleeing from a lion?

بَل يُريدُ كُلُّ امرِئٍ مِنهُم أَن يُؤتىٰ صُحُفًا مُنَشَّرَةً

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلّا ۖ بَل لا يَخافونَ الآخِرَةَ

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

فَمَن شاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَما يَذكُرونَ إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهلُ التَّقوىٰ وَأَهلُ المَغفِرَةِ

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
