Those who were subdued will say to those who were conceited, “Rather it was your deceit during night and day, for you commanded us to deny Allah and to set up equals to Him”; and inwardly they began regretting when they saw the punishment; and We placed shackles around the necks of the disbelievers; what recompense will they get except what they used to do?
و كسانى كه زيردست بودند به كسانى كه [رياست و] برترى داشتند، مى‌گويند: «[نه،] بلكه نيرنگ شب و روز [شما بود] آنگاه كه ما را وادار مى‌كرديد كه به خدا كافر شويم و براى او همتايانى قرار دهيم.» و هنگامى كه عذاب را ببينند پشيمانى خود را آشكار كنند. و در گردنهاى كسانى كه كافر شده‌اند غُلها مى‌نهيم؛ آيا جز به سزاى آنچه انجام مى‌دادند مى‌رسند؟
