78:40
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
We have warned you of the approaching torment. On that day, a person will see what his hands have committed. A disbeliever will say, "Would that I had been dust".
