The Holy Quran 6:27 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰلَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

If only you could see (the time) when they will be made to stand over the Fire (of Jahannam) and they will say, "O dear! If only we could be returned (to the world), we would not reject the Aayaat of our Rabb and we would be from among the Mu'mineen!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The regret and remorse of the idolaters in the Hereafter: that is, all this bluster — denying and mocking the ayahs of Allah and so on — lasts only as long as the terrifying, mind-shattering scene of divine punishment is not before them.
