لَعَجَّلَ
لَهُمُ
الْعَذَابَ
بَل
لَّهُم
مَّوْعِدٌ
لَّن
يَجِدُوا

دُونِهِ
مَوْئِلًا

Your Lord is the All-forgiving dispenser of mercy. Were He to take them to task because of what they have committed, He would have surely hastened their punishment. But they have a tryst, [when] they will not find a refuge besides Him.
— Ali Quli Qarai
But your Lord is Most forgiving, full of Mercy. If He were to call them (at once) to account for what they have earned, then surely He would have hastened their punishment: but they have their appointed time, beyond which they will find no refuge.
