Aya 11
11
يُبَصَّرونَهُم ۚ يَوَدُّ المُجرِمُ لَو يَفتَدي مِن عَذابِ يَومِئِذٍ بِبَنيهِ

Yusuf Ali

Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner?s desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day1 by (sacrificing) his children,
  • The sinner will offer his children, his family, his kinsmen, who had sheltered and protected him-in fact everything on earth that he could-as a ransom for himself. Such would be his selfishness and his agony.
