Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

If thou couldst see when they are set before the Fire and say: Oh, would that we might return! Then would we not deny the revelations of our Lord but we would be of the believers!

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If thou couldst but see when they are confronted with the Fire! They will say: "Would that we were but sent back! Then would we not reject the signs of our Lord, but would be amongst those who believe!"

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يذكر تعالى حال الكفار إذا وقفوا يوم القيامة على النار ، وشاهدوا ما فيها من السلاسل والأغلال ، ورأوا بأعينهم تلك الأمور العظام والأهوال ، فعند ذلك قالوا ( يا ليتنا نرد ولا نكذب بآيات ربنا ونكون من المؤمنين ) يتمنون أن يردوا إلى الدار الدنيا ، ليعملوا عملا صالحا ، ولا يكذبوا بآيات ربهم ويكونوا من المؤمنين .
