ٱلشُّعَرَاء : ٣

  • لَعَلَّكَ Perhaps you
  • بَٰخِعٞ (would) kill
  • نَّفۡسَكَ yourself
  • أَلَّا that not
  • يَكُونُواْ they become
  • مُؤۡمِنِينَ believers
Perhaps, [O Muḥammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
Perhaps, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, you might kill yourself, out of distress for the reason, that they, namely, the people of Mecca, will not become believers (la'alla here expresses sympathy, in other words [what is meant is] 'have pity on it [your self] by alleviating [the burden of] this distress').
