وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ

So now we have no intercessors

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
