قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ
Q a loo inn a kunn a qablu fee ahlin a mushfiqeen a

  - Mustafa Khattab
Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

All such shadows are removed in heaven by the Grace of Allah, and he is free to dwell on it in his confidential converse with other men similarly circumstanced.
