وَلَئِنْ And verily, if أَذَقْنَـٰهُ We let him taste رَحْمَةًۭ mercy مِّنَّا from Us مِنۢ after بَعْدِ after ضَرَّآءَ an adversity مَسَّتْهُ (has) touched him لَيَقُولَنَّ he will surely say هَـٰذَا This (is) لِى (due) to me وَمَآ and not أَظُنُّ I think ٱلسَّاعَةَ the Hour قَآئِمَةًۭ (will be) established وَلَئِن and if رُّجِعْتُ I am returned إِلَىٰ to رَبِّىٓ my Lord إِنَّ indeed لِى for me عِندَهُۥ with Him لَلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ (will be) the best فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ But We will surely inform ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved بِمَا about what عَمِلُوا۟ they did وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم and We will surely make them taste مِّنْ of عَذَابٍ a punishment غَلِيظٍۢ severe ٥٠

But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.
