يَوْمَ
يَقُولُ
الْمُنَافِقُونَ
وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ
لِلَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
انظُرُونَا
نَقْتَبِسْ
مِن
نُّورِكُمْ
قِيلَ
ارْجِعُوا
وَرَاءَكُمْ
فَالْتَمِسُوا
نُورًا
فَضُرِبَ
بَيْنَهُم
بِسُورٍ
لَّهُ
بَابٌ
بَاطِنُهُ
فِيهِ
الرَّحْمَةُ
وَظَاهِرُهُ
مِن
قِبَلِهِ
الْعَذَابُ

The day the hypocrites, men and women, will say to the faithful, ‘Please wait, that we may glean something from your light!’ They will be told: ‘Go back and grope for light!’ Then there will be set up between them a wall with a gate, with mercy within and punishment without.
— Ali Quli Qarai
One Day will the Hypocrites- men and women - say to the Believers: "Wait for us! Let us borrow (a Light) from your Light!" It will be said: "Turn ye back to your rear! then seek a Light (where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up betwixt them, with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!
