26. Shuara · verses 97–104

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

TaAllahi in kunna lafee dalalin mubeenin

"´By Allah, we were truly in an error manifest,

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Ith nusawweekum birabbi alAAalameena

"´When we held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

Wama adallana illa almujrimoona

"´And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

Fama lana min shafiAAeena

"´Now, then, we have none to intercede (for us),

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ

Wala sadeeqin hameemin

"´Nor a single friend to feel (for us).

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Falaw anna lana karratan fanakoona mina almumineena

"´Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!´"

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Verily in this is a Sign but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
