فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

Falawla itha balaghati alhulqooma

Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

Waantum heenaithin tanthuroona

And ye the while (sit) looking on,-

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ

Wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi minkum walakin la tubsiroona

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ

Falawla in kuntum ghayra madeeneena

Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

TarjiAAoonaha in kuntum sadiqeena

Faamma in kana mina almuqarrabeena

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

Waamma in kana min ashabi alyameeni

And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

Fasalamun laka min ashabi alyameeni

(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Waamma in kana mina almukaththibeena alddalleena

And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,
