وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُورُ ذُوالرَّحْمَةِۜ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَۜ بَلْ لَهُمْ مَوْعِدٌ لَنْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ دُونِه۪ مَوْئِلاً

Warabbuka alghafooru thoo arrahmatilaw yu-akhithuhum bima kasaboo laAAajjalalahumu alAAathaba bal lahum mawAAidun lan yajidoo mindoonihi maw-ila

But thy Lord is the Forgiver, the Possessor of Mercy; were He to take them to task for what they have earned, He would hasten for them the punishment. But they have an appointment; they will not find, besides it, an escape.
