لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُ
عَذَابًا
شَدِيدًا
أَوْ
لَأَذْبَحَنَّهُ
أَوْ
لَيَأْتِيَنِّي
بِسُلْطَانٍ
مُّبِينٍ

‘I will punish him with a severe punishment, or I will behead him, unless he brings me a credible excuse.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
"I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)."
