7:5

فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

famā kāna daʿwāhum idh jāahum basunā illā an qālū innā kunnā ẓālimīna

And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"

— Saheeh International

their only cry when Our punishment came to them was, ‘How wrong we were!’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

No cry did they utter when Our Torment came upon them but this: "Verily, we were Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers)".

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