أَن
تَقُولَ
نَفْسٌ
يَاحَسْرَتَى
عَلَى
مَا
فَرَّطتُ
فِي
جَنبِ
اللَّهِ
وَإِن
كُنتُ
لَمِنَ
السَّاخِرِينَ
ʾan taqūla nafsun yā-ḥasratā ʿalā mā farraṭtu fī janbi llāhi wa-ʾin kuntu la-mina s-sākhirīna
"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-
— Abdullah Yusufali
Lest anyone should say, ‘Alas for my negligence in the vicinage of Allah! Indeed I was among those who ridiculed.’
