تَظُنُّ أَن يُفعَلَ بِها فاقِرَةٌ

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كَلّا إِذا بَلَغَتِ التَّراقِيَ

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقيلَ مَن ۜ راقٍ

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِ

And the leg is wound about the leg,

فَلا صَدَّقَ وَلا صَلّىٰ

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلىٰ أَهلِهِ يَتَمَطّىٰ

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Then woe to you, and woe!
