7:53

هَلْ یَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّا تَاْوٖیلَهُؕ یَوْمَ یَاْتٖی تَاْوٖیلُهُ یَقُولُ الَّذٖینَ نَسُوهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَدْ جَٓاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّۚ فَهَلْ لَنَا مِنْ شُفَعَٓاءَ فَیَشْفَعُوا لَنَٓا اَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَیْرَ الَّذٖی كُنَّا نَعْمَلُؕ قَدْ خَسِرُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا یَفْتَرُونَࣖ

Hal yanthuroona illa taweelahu yawma yatee taweeluhu yaqoolu allatheena nasoohu min qablu qad jaat rusulu rabbina bialhaqqi fahal lana min shufaAAaa fayashfaAAoo lana aw nuraddu fanaAAmala ghayra allathee kunna naAAmalu qad khasiroo anfusahum wadalla AAanhum ma kanoo yaftaroona

Translations

Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent

Saheeh International

Await they aught save the fulfilment thereof? On the day when the fulfilment thereof cometh, those who were before forgetful thereof will say: The messengers of our Lord did bring the Truth! Have we any intercessors, that they may intercede for us? Or can we be returned (to life on earth), that we may act otherwise than we used to act? They have lost their souls, and that which they devised hath failed them
