قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ
There the deviant will cry while disputing with their idols,
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ
“By Allah! We were clearly mistaken,
إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
when we made you equal to the Lord of all worlds.
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
And none led us astray other than the wicked.
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ
Now we have none to intercede for us,
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ
nor a close friend.
فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
If only we could have a second chance, then we would be believers.”
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
