30:55

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُوا۟ غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَانُوا۟ يُؤْفَكُونَ

wayawma taqūmu l-sāʿatu yuq'simu l-muj'rimūna mā labithū ghayra sāʿatin kadhālika kānū yu'fakūna

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

— Saheeh International

On the Day the Hour comes, the guilty will swear they lingered no more than an hour- they have always been deluded-

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And on the Day that the Hour will be established, the Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) will swear that they stayed not but an hour - thus were they ever deluded [away from the truth (i.e. they used to tell lies and take false oaths, and turn away from the truth) in this life of the world)]

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
