لَكُنّا عِبادَ اللَّهِ المُخلَصينَ

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

فَكَفَروا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوفَ يَعلَمونَ

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

وَلَقَد سَبَقَت كَلِمَتُنا لِعِبادِنَا المُرسَلينَ

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُم لَهُمُ المَنصورونَ

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنا لَهُمُ الغالِبونَ

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

وَأَبصِرهُم فَسَوفَ يُبصِرونَ

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

أَفَبِعَذابِنا يَستَعجِلونَ

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذا نَزَلَ بِساحَتِهِم فَساءَ صَباحُ المُنذَرينَ

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنهُم حَتّىٰ حينٍ

And leave them for a time.

وَأَبصِر فَسَوفَ يُبصِرونَ

And see, for they are going to see.
