﴿ فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ كَٰفِرِينَ ﴾

“And he turned away from them, and said: "O my people! Indeed, I delivered unto you my Sustainer's message and gave you good advice: how, then, could I mourn for people who have denied the truth?"”

(So he turned from them) he departed from them before they were destroyed (and said: O my people! I delivered my Lord's messages unto you) by explaining the commands and prohibitions (and gave you good advice) I warned you of Allah's torment and invited you to repent and believe; (then how can I sorrow for a people that rejected) Allah and therefore were destroyed?
