Those who were abased will say to those who were arrogant, ‘No, [it was your] night and day plotting, when you prompted us to forswear Allah and to set up equals to Him.’ They will hide their remorse when they sight the punishment, and We will put iron collars around the necks of the faithless. Shall they not be requited for what they used to do?
و كسانى كه زيردست بودند به كسانى كه [رياست و] برترى داشتند، مى‌گويند: «[نه،] بلكه نيرنگ شب و روز [شما بود] آنگاه كه ما را وادار مى‌كرديد كه به خدا كافر شويم و براى او همتايانى قرار دهيم.» و هنگامى كه عذاب را ببينند پشيمانى خود را آشكار كنند. و در گردنهاى كسانى كه كافر شده‌اند غُلها مى‌نهيم؛ آيا جز به سزاى آنچه انجام مى‌دادند مى‌رسند؟
