وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن وَلِىٍّ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ ۗ وَتَرَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ إِلَىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِّن سَبِيلٍ Qur’an Ash-Shura (42:44)
Waman yu d lili All a hu fam a lahu min waliyyin min baAAdihi watar a a l thth a limeena lamm a raawoo alAAa tha ba yaqooloona hal il a maraddin min sabeel in
AND [thus it is:] he whom God lets go astray43 has henceforth no protector whatever: and so thou wilt see such evildoers44 [on Judgment Day, and wilt hear how] they exclaim as soon as they behold the suffering [that awaits them], "Is there any way of return?"45
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Although this is primarily a reference to "those who oppress [other] people and behave outrageously on earth, offending against all right" (verse {42} above), the meaning of the term is general, applying to all kinds of deliberate evildoers.

I.e., a "second chance" on earth: cf. {6:27-28}.

See note [4] on 14:4 .

He whom Allah let go astray has no protector after Him. When they will face the punishment, you will see the wrongdoers exclaim: "Is there any way back to the world?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And whoever Allah leaves to stray will have no guide after Him. You will see the wrongdoers, when they face the torment, pleading, 'Is there any way back 'to the world'?'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no protecting friend after Him. And thou (Muhammad) wilt see the evil doers when they see the doom, (how) they say: Is there any way of return?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
For any whom Allah leaves astray there is no protector thereafter and thou wilt see the wrongdoers when in sight of the Penalty Say: "Is there any way (to effect) a return? 4587
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

When the actual consequences of evil are in sight, the foolish sinner wishes that it were possible to get back to the life of probation. But he neglected or abused it and rejected Allah's Grace all the time. How can he then be restored to a closed chapter of his life?
