Commentary
Its meaning is: They will laugh a little and cry a lot as a recompense. However, it is expressed in the form of a command, to indicate that it is an inevitable obligation that cannot be otherwise. It is narrated that the people of hypocrisy will cry in the fire for the duration of this world, and their tears will not cease, nor will they find rest in sleep.
