كَمْ How many أَهْلَكْنَا We destroyed مِن before them قَبْلِهِم before them مِّن of قَرْنٍۢ a generation فَنَادَوا۟ then they called out وَّلَاتَ when there (was) no longer حِينَ time مَنَاصٍۢ (for) escape ٣
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.
