قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ
They will say while contending therein,
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ
By Allah, we were truly in a manifest error,
إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists);
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors, etc.].
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ
Now we have no intercessors,
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ
Nor a close friend (to help us).
فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
