Sura 21 Al-Anbiya (The Prophets), ayah 97

  1. وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِيَ شَاخِصَةٌ أَبْصَارُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ هَٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

    Translation by words

    وَٱقْتَرَبَ
    And has approached
    ٱلْوَعْدُ
    the promise
    ٱلْحَقُّ
    [the] true
    فَإِذَا
    then behold,
    هِىَ
    [it]
    شَٰخِصَةٌ
    (are) staring
    أَبْصَٰرُ
    (the) eyes
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    (of) those who
    كَفَرُوا۟
    disbelieved,
    يَٰوَيْلَنَا
    "O woe to us!
    قَدْ
    Verily,
    كُنَّا
    we had been
    فِى
    in
    غَفْلَةٍ
    heedlessness
    مِّنْ
    of
    هَٰذَا
    this;
    بَلْ
    nay,
    كُنَّا
    we were
    ظَٰلِمِينَ
    wrongdoers."

    And (when) the true promise has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring (in horror, while they say), "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

    21:97
