Word by word

وَتَرَىٰهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَـٰشِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرْفٍ خَفِىٍّ ۗ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِى عَذَابٍ مُّقِيمٍ

And you will see them being exposed to it [i.e., the Fire], humbled from humiliation, looking from [behind] a covert glance. And those who had believed will say, "Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, the wrongdoers are in an enduring punishment."

وترى -أيها الرسول- هؤلاء الظالمين يُعْرَضون على النار خاضعين متذللين ينظرون إلى النار مِن طرْف ذليل ضعيف من الخوف والهوان. وقال الذين آمنوا بالله ورسوله في الجنة، لما عاينوا ما حلَّ بالكفار من خسران: إن الخاسرين حقًا هم الذين خسروا أنفسهم وأهليهم يوم القيامة بدخول النار. ألا إن الظالمين -يوم القيامة- في عذاب دائم، لا ينقطع عنهم، ولا يزول.
