كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍۢ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍۢ ٣
How many a generation We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was no longer the time for escape!
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.
How many a nation did We destroy before them! (When they approached their doom) they cried out (for deliverance), but the time for deliverance was already past.
