Those that were abased will say to those who were proud: 'Rather, it was scheming night and day, when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and set up equals to Him' And they will regret in secret when they see the punishment and We put (iron) fetters on the necks of the unbelievers. Shall they be recompensed except for what they were doing?
و زبون‌شدگان به گردنكشان گويند: بلكه ترفند و نيرنگ شب و روز [شما] بود كه ما را فرمان داديد كه به خدا كافر شويم و براى او همتايانى فراگيريم. و چون عذاب را ببينند [همه آنها] پشيمانى نهان دارند- از بيم سرزنش ديگران-. و ما غُلها را در گردن آنان كه كافر شدند بنهيم. آيا جز آنچه مى‌كردند كيفر داده مى‌شوند؟
