كَمْ
أَهْلَكْنَا
مِن
قَبْلِهِم
مِّن
قَرْنٍ
فَنَادَوا
وَّلَاتَ
حِينَ
مَنَاصٍ
kam ʾahlaknā min qablihim min qarnin fa-nādaw wa-lāta ḥīna manāṣin
How many a generation We have destroyed before them! They cried out [for help], but gone was the time for escape.
— Ali Quli Qarai
How many generations before them did We destroy? In the end they cried (for mercy)- when there was no longer time for being saved!
