فَمَا كَانَ دَعۡوٰٮهُمۡ اِذۡ جَآءَهُمۡ بَاۡسُنَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيۡنَ
Fa maa kaa-na dau-waa hoom iz jaa-aa hoom bau-so naa Il-laa un qua-loo in-naa koon-naa zaa-lay-mee-n
Then their claim was nothing, when Our punishment struck them, Except that they said, “Most definitely have been the wrongdoers.”
- فَ — Fa — Then (= Consequently; so; thereafter; therefore; then; thus; yet. A/t/a, ‘When (thus),’ ‘So that’ and ‘And’)
- مَا — Maa — Nothing (= Never; no; not at all. See 004:067)
- كَانَ — Kaa-na — Has been (= v., past., s., m., 3rd person., Continued doing; used to; went on; were doing. See 004:034. A/t/a, ‘had they’ and ‘meant’)
- دَعۡوٰ — Dau-waa — Call (= n., Announcement. Claim. Declaration. Excuse. Prayer. Praying. A/t/a, ‘plea’ and ‘cry.’ But the verb used in ‘could utter’ is no translation of the noun what the Holy Qor-aan has used in its text)
- هُمۡ — Hoom — Them (= pro., pl., m., 3rd person. Those men; they; theirs)
- اِذۡ — Iz — When (= At the time or event; call to mind; recall; remember; think of the time, event, occasion or opportunity. Also, behold; consider; ponder over; reflect)
- جَآءَ — Jaa-aa — Came (= v., past., s., 3rd person. Arrived; reached; returned. See 002:276. A/t/a, ‘took,’ ‘came upon,’ ‘came unto,’ ‘overtook’ and ‘fell upon’)

- اِنَّا — In-naa — Surely we (= This combines two words. The first word اِنۡ (in) means absolutely, certainly, positively, surely or verily; the second word نَآ (naa) means we, us or our; and together the word اِنَّا (in-naa) combines both meanings. A/t/a, ‘we,’ ‘surely,’ ‘indeed,’ ‘truly’ and ‘verily’)
- كُنَّا — Koon-naa — We have been (= v., past., pl., 1st person. Became. Happened. Occurred. Taken or took place or shape. This is a combination of two words. The 1st word كُنۡ conveys the continuation from the past to the present and leading into the future.

A/t/a, ‘wrongdoers,’ ‘wrong-doers,’ ‘wrong-doing people,’ ‘wicked men’ and ‘Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers.’ But the verb in ‘did wrong’ s no translation of the noun that the Holy Qor-aan has used in its text)
