أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
[39:58]
Or it should say when it sees the punishment: Were there only a returning for me, I should be of the doers of good.
"Or (lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the penalty: 'If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!'
Or should say, when it seeth the doom: Oh, that I had but a second chance that I might be among the righteous!
