Transliteration:( Yawma tajidu kullu nafsim maa'amilat min khairim muhdaranw wa maa 'amilat min sooo'in tawaddu law anna bainahaa wa bainahooo amadam ba'eedaa; wa yuhazzirukumul laahu nafsah; wallaahu ra'oofum bil'ibaad )
"[Beware of] the Day when every person will see all the good deeds they have done and all the evil [66] they have done. They will wish there was a long distance [67] between them and their bad deeds. Allah warns you about His punishment, and Allah is very kind to His servants."
On the Day of Judgment, good deeds will appear in pleasing forms, while evil deeds will manifest in repulsive shapes.
For example, wealth hoarded without paying Zakaat will come before its owner in the form of a bald, venomous snake, as mentioned in Hadith.
The phrase reflects the regret of sinners, who will wish their evil deeds were far removed from them.

Imitation (emulation) of Allah is not possible, but obedience to Him is required—while both obedience and emulation of the Prophet ﷺ are mandatory.
