قالوا إِنَّكُم كُنتُم تَأتونَنا عَنِ اليَمينِ

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

قالوا بَل لَم تَكونوا مُؤمِنينَ

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

وَما كانَ لَنا عَلَيكُم مِن سُلطانٍ ۖ بَل كُنتُم قَومًا طاغينَ

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَينا قَولُ رَبِّنا ۖ إِنّا لَذائِقونَ

So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

فَأَغوَيناكُم إِنّا كُنّا غاوينَ

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

إِنّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفعَلُ بِالمُجرِمينَ

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُم كانوا إِذا قيلَ لَهُم لا إِلـٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَستَكبِرونَ

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

وَيَقولونَ أَئِنّا لَتارِكو آلِهَتِنا لِشاعِرٍ مَجنونٍ

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

بَل جاءَ بِالحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ المُرسَلينَ

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

إِنَّكُم لَذائِقُو العَذابِ الأَليمِ

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
