وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ
And the hosts ofIblis, all together.
قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ
They will say, (as) they stood therein, adversaries with each other,
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ
"By Allah, decidedly we were indeed in evident error,
إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
As we made you equal with The Lord of the worlds.
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
And in no way did anybody lead us into error except the criminals.
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ
So (now) in no way do we have any intercessors,
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ
Nor any intimate friend.
فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
So, if we had (a chance) to recur, (i.e., to live again) then we should be among the believers!"
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Surely in that is indeed a sign; and in no way were most of them believers.
