நிச்சயமாக, நெருங்கி வரும் வேதனையைப்பற்றி உங்களுக்கு எச்சரிக்கை செய்கிறோம் - மனிதன் தன் இருகைகளும் செய்து முற்படுத்தியவற்றை - அமல்களை - அந்நாளில் கண்டு கொள்வான் - மேலும் காஃபிர் "அந்தோ கைசேதமே! நான் மண்ணாகிப் போயிருக்க வேண்டுமே!" என்று (பிரலாபித்துக்) கூறுவான்.

නියත වශයෙන් ම සමීපයෙන් පවතින දඬුවම පිළිබඳව අපි නුඹලාට අවවාද කළෙමු. එදින මිනිසා තම දෙඅත් ඉදිරිපත් කළ දෑ දැක ගනී. තවද ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කරන්නා, “අහෝ මා පස් බවට පත් විය යුතු නො වෙමි දැ”යි පවසයි.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
ہم نے تمہیں عنقریب آنے والے عذاب سے ڈرا دیا (اور چوکنا کر دیا) ہے ۔ جس دن انسان اپنے ہاتھوں کی کمائی کو دیکھ لے گا اور کافر کہے گا کہ کاش! میں مٹی ہو جاتا.

本当にわれは,懲罰が近いと,あなたがたに警告した。その日,人は,自分の両方の手が前もって行ったもの(所業)を見るであろう。不信者は,「ああ,情けない,わたしが塵であったならば。」と言うであろう。
ChineseMa Jian
我的确警告你们一种临近的刑罚,在那日,各人将要看见自己所已做的工作,不信道的人们将要说:啊!但愿我原是尘土。

Tafsir of 78:40

No one will dare to speak before Allah -- not even the Angels - without first receiving Permission Allah informs of His magnificence and His majesty, and that He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is in them and between them. He explains that He is the Most Gracious, Whose mercy covers all things. Then He says, لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَاباً (With Whom they cannot dare to speak.) meaning, no one is able to begin addressing Him except by His permission. This is as Allah says, مَن ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ (Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission) (2:255) It is also similar to His statement, يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لاَ تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ (On the Day when it comes, no person shall speak except by His leave.) (11:105) يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَئِكَةُ صَفّاً لاَّ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ (The Day that Ar-Ruh and the angels will stand forth in rows, they will not speak) (78:38) The word Ruh here is referring to the angel Jibril. This has been said by Ash-Sha`bi, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Ad-Dahhak.…
