وَ كَ اَىّ يِمّ مِّنْ
مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ
قَرْ ىَ تِنْ اَمْلَیْتُ
اَمْ لَىْ تُ لَهَا
لَ هَا وَ هِیَ
وَ هِ ىَ ظَالِمَةٌ
ظَا لِ مَ تُنْ ثُمَّ
ثُمّ مَ اَخَذْتُهَا ۚ
اَخَذْ تُ هَا وَ اِلَیَّ
وَ اِلَىّ يَلْ الْمَصِیْرُ
مَ صِىْٓ رْ
Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And for how many a city did I prolong enjoyment while it was committing wrong. Then I seized it, and to Me is the [final] destination.
— Saheeh International
