وَكَأَيِّن
مِّن
قَرْيَةٍ
أَمْلَيْتُ
لَهَا
وَهِيَ
ظَالِمَةٌ
ثُمَّ
أَخَذْتُهَا
وَإِلَيَّ
الْمَصِيرُ
wa-ka-ʾayyin min qaryatin ʾamlaytu lahā wa-hiya ẓālimatun thumma ʾakhadhtuhā wa-ʾilayya l-maṣīru
To how many a town did I give respite while it was doing wrong! Then I seized it, and toward Me is the destination.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And to how many populations did I give respite, which were given to wrong-doing? in the end I punished them. To me is the destination (of all).
