Lest a soul should say: "Alas, I was heedless of God and only laughed;"

So that no soul may say, “Alas! The failures that I committed regarding Allah – and indeed I used to mock!”

Lest any soul should say, 'Alas for me, in that I neglected my duty to God, and was a scoffer,'

lest any human being should say [on Judgment Day], “Alas for me for having been remiss in what is due to God, and for having been indeed one of those who scoffed [at the truth]!”

Lest a soul should say: Alas! for that I have been remiss in respect of Allah, and I was but of the scoffers!

Lest a person should say: "Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah (i.e. I have not done what Allah has ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the truth! i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), the Quran, and Muhammad SAW and at the faithful believers, etc.]

So that a soul may not say, “How sorry I am, for having neglected my duty to God, and for having been of the scoffers.”

So that a soul may not say, “How sorry I am, for having neglected my duty to Allah, and for having been of the scoffers.”

So that a soul may not say, “How sorry I am, for having neglected my duty to God, and for having been of the scoffers.”

So that a soul may not say, “How sorry I am, for having neglected my duty to Allah, and for having been of the scoffers.”

so that no ˹sinful˺ soul will say ˹on Judgment Day˺, ‘Woe to me for neglecting ˹my duties towards˺ Allah, while ridiculing ˹the truth˺.’

Lest a person should say: “Alas for me for neglecting my duty towards Allah and for being among those that scoffed”;

Lest a person should say: "Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah, and I was indeed among those who mocked."

Lest any soul should say: Alas, my grief that I was unmindful of Allah, and I was indeed among the scoffers!

Lest anyone should say, ‘Alas for my negligence in the vicinage of Allah! Indeed I was among those who ridiculed.’

Lest any soul should say: 'Sadly, I have neglected my duty to Allah and was of those that mocked'

Lest a soul should say, "Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah and that I was among the mockers."

Turn to God in repentance before a soul says, "Woe to me because of my failure to fulfill my duties to God. Woe to me for mocking God's guidance!"

Lest a soul should say: O woe to me! for what I fell short of my duty to Allah, and most surely I was of those who laughed to scorn;

An taqoola nafsun ya hasrata AAala ma farrattu fee janbi Allahi wain kuntu lamina alssakhireena

an taqūla nafsun yāḥasratā ʿalā mā farraṭtu fī janbi l-lahi wa-in kuntu lamina l-sākhirīna

lest anyone should say, "Alas for me, for having neglected what is due to God, and having been one of those who scoffed!"

"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-
