ٱلْكَهْف : ٤٢

  • وَأُحِيطَ And were surrounded
  • بِثَمَرِهِۦ his fruits
  • فَأَصۡبَحَ so he began
  • يُقَلِّبُ twisting
  • كَفَّيۡهِ his hands
  • عَلَىٰ over
  • مَآ what
  • أَنفَقَ he (had) spent
  • فِيهَا on it
  • وَهِيَ while it (had)
  • خَاوِيَةٌ collapsed
  • عَلَىٰ on
  • عُرُوشِهَا its trellises
  • وَيَقُولُ and he said
  • يَٰلَيۡتَنِي Oh! I wish
  • لَمۡ I had not associated
  • أُشۡرِكۡ I had not associated
  • بِرَبِّيٓ with my Lord
  • أَحَدٗا anyone
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."1
Footnotes
1 - He attributed his prosperity to himself rather than to Allāh and disbelieved in the account of the Hereafter.
And his fruit was beset, through the curbing measures mentioned above, [it was beset] together with his the Paradise by destruction and were thus ruined, and so he began to wring his hands, out of regret and anguish, because of what he had spent on it, on the cultivation of his the Paradise, as it lay fallen, [having] collapsed, on its trellises, those supporting the vines, so that [first] these collapsed and then the vine-grapes collapsed [after them], saying, 'O (yaa is for exclamation) I wish I had not ascribed any partner to my Lord!'
