وَاقْتَرَبَ
الْوَعْدُ
الْحَقُّ
فَإِذَا
هِيَ
شَاخِصَةٌ
أَبْصَارُ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
يَاوَيْلَنَا
قَدْ
كُنَّا
فِي
غَفْلَةٍ
مِّنْ
هَذَا
بَلْ
كُنَّا
ظَالِمِينَ

Then will the true promise draw nigh (of fulfilment): then behold! the eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! Woe to us! we were indeed heedless of this; nay, we truly did wrong!"
— Abdullah Yusufali
and the true promise draws near [to its fulfillment], behold, the faithless will look on with a fixed gaze: ‘Woe to us! We have certainly been oblivious of this! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers!’
