Indulging in pleasantries ?

And you are lost in play !

while you make merry ?

And ye are behaving proudly .

Wasting your ( precious ) lifetime in pastime and amusements ( singing , etc . ) .

Lost in your frivolity ?

Will you occupy yourselves simply in merriment ?

While ye amuse yourselves ?

while you remain heedless ? !

while you are thoughtless ?

While you are proudly sporting ?

indulging in carelessly idle games ?

While you are indulging in varieties .

Will you remain proudly heedless ?

Wasting your time in vanities ?

But who are oblivious of their moral duties ,

Those who are neglectful of their prayer .

and are heedless of their prayers ,

As are of their prayer careless .

Who delay their Salat ( prayer ) from their stated fixed times ,

Those who are heedless of their prayers .

but are heedless in their Prayers ,

Who are heedless of their prayer

but are heedless of their prayers

who are heedless of their prayers ( delaying them from their prescribed times ) ,

But who are heedless of their prayer

who become confused during their prayers ,

Who are unmindful of their prayers ,

but whose hearts are not in their prayer .

Who are neglectful of their prayers ,

Who are lost in deception .

Those who have forgotten in a state of intoxication .

who are dazed in perplexity

Those who are in heedlessness neglectful .

Who are under a cover of heedlessness ( think not about the gravity of the Hereafter ) ,

Those who are dazed in ignorance .

who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness .

Who are careless in an abyss !

who are heedless in a stupor !

who are heedless in the immersion .

Who are within a flood of confusion and heedless .

and who wander in the abyss of confusion .

Who are in a gulf ( of ignorance ) neglectful

who flounder in the depths of ignorance .

Those who ( flounder ) heedless in a flood of confusion
