Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona

(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ مُّبِينٞ

Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun

How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,-

Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun

Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona

One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
