Translation
(14:42) Do not think Allah is heedless of the evil deeds in which the evil-doers are engaged. He is merely granting them respite until a Day when their eyes shall continue to stare in horror, (14:43) when they shall keep pressing ahead in haste, their heads lifted up, their gaze directed forward,54 unable to look away from what they behold, their hearts utterly void.

Commentary

54. This graphic picture depicts the horrible plight of the wrongdoers on the Day of Reckoning. When they will realize the situation, they will be so taken aback that they will have their looks fixed straight in front of them without seeing anything.
