وقال الذين استضعفوا للذين استكبروا بل مكر الليل والنهار اذ تامروننا ان نكفر بالله ونجعل له اندادا واسروا الندامة لما راوا العذاب وجعلنا الاغلال في اعناق الذين كفروا هل يجزون الا ما كانوا يعملون

Those who had been despised Will say to the arrogant ones: "Nay! it was a plot (Of yours) by day and by night: Behold! ye (constantly) ordered us To be ungrateful to God And to attribute equals to Him! They will declare (their) repentance When they see the Penalty: We shall put yokes On the necks of the Unbelievers: It would only be a requital For their (ill) Deeds.
