إِنَّا
أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ
عَذَابًا
قَرِيبًا
يَوْمَ
يَنظُرُ
الْمَرْءُ
مَا
قَدَّمَتْ
يَدَاهُ
وَيَقُولُ
الْكَافِرُ
يَالَيْتَنِي
كُنتُ
تُرَابًا
ʾinnā ʾandharnākum ʿadhāban qarīban yawma yanẓuru l-marʾu mā qaddamat yadāhu wa-yaqūlu l-kāfiru yā-laytanī kuntu turāban
Indeed We have warned you of a punishment near at hand—the day when a person will observe what his hands have sent ahead and the faithless one will say, ‘I wish I were dust!’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"
