فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۭ بِشَهِيدٍۢ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شَهِيدًۭا

بھلا اس دن کا کیا حال ہوگا جب ہم ہر امت میں سے احوال بتائے والے کو بلائیں گے اور تم کو ان لوگوں کا حال (بتانے کو) گواہ طلب کریں گے

But how (will it be with them) when We bring of every people a witness, and We bring thee (O Muhammad) a witness against these?
