But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡعَقَبَةُ
Wa maaa adraaka mal’aqabah
And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

Wallazeena kafaroo bi aayaatinaa hum as-haabul Mash’amah
But they who disbelieved in Our signs – those are the companions of the left.
عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَارٞ مُّؤۡصَدَةُۢ
Alaihim naarum mu’sadah
Over them will be fire closed in.
