قُل
لَّن
يَنفَعَكُمُ
الْفِرَارُ
إِن
فَرَرْتُم
مِّنَ
الْمَوْتِ
أَوِ
الْقَتْلِ
وَإِذًا
لَّا
تُمَتَّعُونَ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا
qul lan yanfaʿakumu l-firāru ʾin farartum mina l-mawti ʾawi l-qatli wa-ʾidhan lā tumattaʿūna ʾillā qalīlan
Say, ‘Flight will not avail you, if you flee from death, or from being killed, and then you will be let to enjoy only for a little while.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!"
