وَيَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ
Way a qawmi innee akh a fu AAalaykum yawma a l ttan a d i
"And, O my people, I fear for you [the coming of] that Day of [Judgment-the Day when you will be] calling unto one another [in distress]
  - Mohammad Asad
And O my People! I fear for you the Day of wailing,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
O my people! I truly fear for you the Day all will be crying out 'to each other'-
  - Mustafa Khattab
And, O my people! Lo! I fear for a Day of Summoning,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"And O my People! I fear for you a Day when there will be mutual calling (and wailing) 4404
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

This Day may refer to the Day of Judgment, of which three features are here referred to. (1) People may wail and call to each other, but no one can help another: each one will have his own judgment to face; (2) the wicked will then be driven to Hell from the Judgment-Seat; and (3) there will be no one to help, guide, or intercede, because the grace and guidance of Allah had already been rejected. But the words are perfectly general, and are applicable to all stages at which the Wrath of Allah is manifest.
