Sad 38:3
كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ
Kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarninfanadaw walata heena manas
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, so they cried out (for mercy), while no time was left for having any refuge.
