26. Shuara · verses 203–206

فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Fayaqooloo hal nahnu muntharoona

Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on?

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ سِنِينَ

Afaraayta in mattaAAnahum sineena

Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years,

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

Thumma jaahum ma kanoo yooAAadoona

Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised!
