فَهَلْ
عَسَيْتُمْ
إِن
تَوَلَّيْتُمْ
أَن
تُفْسِدُوا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
وَتُقَطِّعُوا
أَرْحَامَكُمْ
fa-hal ʿasaytum ʾin tawallaytum ʾan tufsidū fī l-ʾarḍi wa-tuqaṭṭiʿū ʾarḥāmakum
Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin?
— Abdullah Yusufali
May it not be that if you were to wield authority you would cause corruption in the land and ill-treat your blood relations?
