37. Safat · verses 17–20

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

Awaabaona alawwaloona

"And also our fathers of old?"

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona

Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona

Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni

They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
