قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ
"They will say there in their mutual bickerings:
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ
"'By Allah, we were truly in an error manifest,
إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
"'When we held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
"'And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt.
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ
"'Now, then, we have none to intercede (for us),
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ
"'Nor a single friend to feel (for us).
فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
"'Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Verily in this is a Sign but most of them do not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
