لَعَلِّىٓ أَعْمَلُ صَـٰلِحًا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ ۚ كَلَّآ ۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَا ۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
LaAAallee aAAmalu sa li h an feem a taraktu kall a innah a kalimatun huwa q a iluh a wamin war a ihim barzakhun il a yawmi yubAAathoon a
so that I might act righteously in whatever I have failed [aforetime]!"61 Nay, it is indeed but a [meaningless] word that he utters: for behind those [who leave the world] there is a barrier [of death] until the Day when all will be raised from the dead!
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "in respect of that which (fi-ma) I have left", comprising both the omission of good and the commission of bad deeds.

so that I may do good deeds in the world that I have left behind." Never! This is just a statement which carries no value, it will be too late because there will be a barrier between them and the world they have just left till the Day they are raised to life again.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
so I may do good in what I left behind.' Never! It is only a 'useless' appeal they make. And there is a barrier behind them until the Day they are resurrected.1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Meaning, once they are dead, they will never return to the world.

That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay! It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." "By no means! it is but a word he says before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up. 2938 2939 2940
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The unrighteous will ask for another chance. But it will be too late then. The time for repentance will then have passed.

Their request will mean nothing. It will be treated merely as an empty word of excuse. They had plenty of chances in this life. Not only did they reject them, but they did not even believe in Allah or ask for His assistance.

Barzakh: a partition, a bar or barrier; the place or state in which people will be after death and before Judgment. Cf. xxv. 53 and Iv. 20. Behind them is the barrier of death, and in front of them is the Barzakh, partition, a quiescent state until the judgment comes.
