عَلَيهِم نارٌ مُؤصَدَةٌ

Muhammad Asad

[with] fire closing in upon them.1
  • I.e., the fires of despair in the life to come "rising over the [sinners') hearts" and "closing in upon them": cf. 104:6-8 and the corresponding note 5. The phrase rendered by me as "such as have lost themselves in evil" reads, literally, "people of "the left side (al-mash'amah)".
