Indulging in pleasantries?
And you are lost in play!
while you make merry?
and divert yourselves all the while?
And ye are behaving proudly.
Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.).
Lost in your frivolity?
Will you occupy yourselves simply in merriment?
While you are Samidun.
While ye amuse yourselves?
while you remain heedless?!
while you are thoughtless?
While you are proudly sporting?
indulging in carelessly idle games?
While you are indulging in varieties.

Will you remain proudly heedless?
Wasting your time in vanities?
وَأَنتُمْ سَٰمِدُونَ
Whilst you are neglectful of it, not giving it any attention?

<p>وَأَنتُمْ سَامِدُونَ (while you are engaged in vain play?....53:61). Samidun is the plural of "samid" from the root word sumud which literally denotes to be heedless. Samidun is used in the sense of ghafilun, meaning unmindful. Some of the Imams have interpreted the word sumud to mean to sing. That meaning can equally fit or apply in this context.</p>
