If thou couldst but see when they are confronted with the Fire! They will say: "Would that we were but sent back! Then would we not reject the signs of our Lord, but would be amongst those who believe!"

Tafsir

If you, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, could see when they are made to stand, [when] they are exposed, before the Hellfire, and they say, 'Oh (yaa is for exclamation) would that we might be returned, to the world; then we would not deny the signs of our Lord, but we would be among the believers!' (read nukadhdhibu and nakoonu as a new [independent] sentence; or read nukadhdhiba and nakoona as the [subjunctive] response to the optative [clause]; or read nukadhdhibu and nakoona). The response to the clause 'if [you could see]' would be 'you would be seeing a terrible thing indeed'.
