Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds.
Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

And by whatsoever you see not,
Wama la tubsiroona

We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),
Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ
And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta),
Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ
And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him.

And indeed it (this Qur'an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).
Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena
