فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّواْ بَأۡسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُونَ

Falamma ahassoo basana itha hum minha yarkudoona

Yet, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it.

لَا تَرۡكُضُواْ وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡـَٔلُونَ

La tarkudoo wairjiAAoo ila ma otriftum feehi wamasakinikum laAAallakum tusaloona

Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena

They said: "Ah! woe to us! We were indeed wrong-doers!"

فَمَا زَالَت تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ

Fama zalat tilka daAAwahum hatta jaAAalnahum haseedan khamideena

And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is mown, as ashes silent and quenched.
