Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

inṭaliqū ilā ẓillin dhī thalāthi shuʿabin

[But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

fa-in kāna lakum kaydun fakīdūni

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

And fruits from whatever they desire,

wafawākiha mimmā yashtahūna

[Being told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."
