Word by word

يَوْمَ يَغْشَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

On the Day the punishment will cover them from above them and from below their feet and it is said, "Taste [the result of] what you used to do."

يوم القيامة يغشى الكافرين عذاب جهنم من فوق رؤوسهم، ومِن تحت أقدامهم، فالنار تغشاهم من سائر جهاتهم، ويقول الله لهم حينئذ: ذوقوا جزاء ما كنتم تعملونه في الدنيا: من الإشراك بالله، وارتكاب الجرائم والآثام.
