The Ascending Stairways · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 569

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ ﴿11﴾
Though they shall be made to see one another [(i.e. on the Day of Resurrection), there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor will ask them for any help]. The Mujrim, (criminal, sinner, disbeliever) would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children,
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ yubaṣṣarūnahum They will be made to see each other
يَوَدُّ yawaddu Would wish
ٱلْمُجْرِمُ l-muj'rimu the criminal
لَوْ law if
يَفْتَدِى yaftadī he (could be) ransomed

عَذَابِ ʿadhābi (the) punishment
يَوْمِئِذٍۭ yawmi-idhin (of) that Day
بِبَنِيهِ bibanīhi by his children
