قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةًۭ قَالُوا۟ يَٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمْ ۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ
Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allah, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it," while they bear their burdens on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary

They indeed are losers who deny the encounter with God through resurrection until hattā is purposive to expose the extent of their mendacity when the Hour the Resurrection comes upon them suddenly they shall say ‘Alas for us yā hasratanā ‘O grief of ours’ expresses extreme suffering the vocative call to which is figurative meaning ‘Now is the time for you O grief so come forth!’ that we neglected it!’ the worldly life. On their backs they shall be bearing their burdens so that these come to them at the Resurrection in the vilest of forms and with the most putrid of smells and they ride them. Ah evil is that burden of theirs which they bear!

Scholars largely agree on this ayah

(They indeed are losers who deny their meeting with Allah) i.e. deny their resurrection after death; Allah says: leave them (until, when the Hour cometh on them suddenly, they cry: Alas for us) how great is our sadness, and how sorry we are, (that we neglected it!) that we neglected faith and repentance in our worldly life. (They bear upon their back their burdens) their sins. (Ah, evil is that which they bear) of sins!
