ولئن اخرنا عنهم العذاب الى امة معدودة ليقولن ما يحبسه الا يوم ياتيهم ليس مصروفا عنهم وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون

If We delay the penalty For them for a definite term, They are sure to say, "What keeps it back?" Ah! On the day it (actually) Reaches them, nothing will. Turn it away from them, And they will be completely Encircled by that which They used to mock at!
