50:3
أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ
Transliteration:
A-itha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun
Word by Word:
What! When we die and have become dust. That (is) a return far."
Translations:
Why - [how could we be resurrected] after we have died and become mere dust? Such a return seems far-fetched indeed!"
"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again)? That would be a far return!
When we die and become dust -- that is a far return.
When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."
