Verse 12 of 46

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ

Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
