وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
It was the evildoers who led us astray,
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ
and now we have no intercessor
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ
and no true friend.
فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
If only we could live our lives again, we would be true believers!’
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe:
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
The people of Noah, too, called the messengers liars.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Their brother Noah said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God?
إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ
I am a faithful messenger sent to you:
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
be mindful of God and obey me.
