لَّقَدْ كُنتَ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ

[It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp."

لقد كنت في غفلة من هذا الذي عاينت اليوم أيها الإنسان، فكشفنا عنك غطاءك الذي غطَّى قلبك، فزالت الغفلة عنك، فبصرك اليوم فيما تشهد قوي شديد.
