But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record
وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ
And had not known what is my account.
يَـٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ
My wealth has not availed me.
هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَـٰنِيَهْ
Gone from me is my authority."
