فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ
26. But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
27. Rather, we have been deprived."
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
28. The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?' "
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
29. They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ
30. Then they approached one another, blaming each other.
قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغِينَ
31. They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ
32. Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
36. What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ
37. Or do you have a scripture in which you learn
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ
38. That indeed for you is whatever you choose?
