فَهَلْ
يَنظُرُونَ
إِلَّا
السَّاعَةَ
أَن
تَأْتِيَهُم
بَغْتَةً
فَقَدْ
جَاءَ
أَشْرَاطُهَا
فَأَنَّى
لَهُمْ
إِذَا
جَاءَتْهُمْ
ذِكْرَاهُمْ
fa-hal yanẓurūna ʾillā s-sāʿata ʾan taʾtiyahum baghtatan fa-qad jāʾa ʾashrāṭuhā fa-ʾannā lahum ʾidhā jāʾathum dhikrāhum
Do they await anything except that the Hour should overtake them suddenly? Its portents have already come. When it overtakes them of what avail will the admonitions they were given?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Do they then only wait for the Hour,- that it should come on them of a sudden? But already have come some tokens thereof, and when it (actually) is on them, how can they benefit then by their admonition?
