Quote:
{73:11} And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little.

I suggest,
{73:11} And leave Me to the belying, those of amenity, and allow them respite a little.

Quote:
{73:12} Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

I suggest,
{73:12} Verily, with Us [for them] are fetters and an Abyss,

Quote:
{73:13} And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

I'd translate عذابا as "torment" rather than "punishment." I suggest,
{73:13} And food with choking and a painful torment.

Quote:
{73:14} On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

Excellent translation. Just to be accurate, "On" should be in brackets,
{73:14} [On] the Day the earth and the mountains convulse and the mountains have become a heap pouring down.
