38:3
كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ
kam ahlaknā min qablihim min qarnin fanādaw walāta ḥīna manāṣin
How many generations We have destroyed before them! They all cried out, once it was too late, for escape.
How many a generation have We destroyed before them! And they cried out when there was no longer time for escape.
