وَقيلَ لَهُم أَينَ ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ

And it will be asked, “Where are those you used to worship?

مِن دونِ اللَّهِ هَل يَنصُرونَكُم أَو يَنتَصِرونَ

Besides God? Can they help you, or help themselves?”

فَكُبكِبوا فيها هُم وَالغاوونَ

They will be flung into it, they and the deceitful.

وَجُنودُ إِبليسَ أَجمَعونَ

And all of the forces of evil.

قالوا وَهُم فيها يَختَصِمونَ

They will be bickering therein, saying.

إِذ نُسَوّيكُم بِرَبِّ العالَمينَ

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

وَما أَضَلَّنا إِلَّا المُجرِمونَ

It was only the transgressors who misled us.

فَما لَنا مِن شافِعينَ

Now, we have no intercessors.

وَلا صَديقٍ حَميمٍ

And no loyal friend.

فَلَو أَنَّ لَنا كَرَّةً فَنَكونَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

If only we had another chance, so that we could be believers.”
