وَٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلْوَعْدُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِىَ شَـٰخِصَةٌ أَبْصَـٰرُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِى غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

EnglishSaheeh International
And [when] the true promise [i.e., the resurrection] has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

(இறுதி நாளைப் பற்றிய) உண்மையான வாக்குறுதி நெருங்கினால், (அதைக்காணும்) காஃபிர்களின் கண்கள் திறந்தபடியே நிலைகுத்தி நின்று விடும்; (அன்றியும் அவர்கள்;) "எங்களுக்கு கேடு தான்! நிச்சயமாக நாங்கள் இதை உதாசீனப்படுத்தியவர்களாகவே இருந்துவிட்டோம்; - அது மட்டுமில்லை - நாம் அநியாயம் செய்தவர்களாகவும் இருந்து விட்டோம்" (என்று கூறுவார்கள்).

තවද සත්‍ය ප්‍රතිඥාව සමීප වී ඇත. එවිට ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළවුන්ගේ බැල්ම පහත්ව පවතී. අහෝ අපගේ විනාශය! සැබැවින් ම අපි මේ ගැන අනවධානයෙහි පසු වූයෙමු. එසේ නොව අපි අපරාධකරුවන් වූයෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور سچا وعده قریب آلگے گا اس وقت کافروں کی نگاہیں پھٹی کی پھٹی ره جائیں گی ، کہ ہائے افسوس! ہم اس حال سے غافل تھے بلکہ فی الواقع ہم قصور وار تھے.

真実の約束は近付いているのである。見なさい。信仰しない者の目は坐ってきて(言うであろう)。「ああ,情けない。わたしたちはこのことを疎かにしていました。いや,わたしたちは不義な者でした。」
ChineseMa Jian
真实的应许将近了,不信道者突然瞪着眼睛(说):悲哉我们!我们对于今天曾是疏忽的。不然,我们是不义的。

Tafsir of 21:97

Those who have been destroyed, will never return to this World. وَحَرَامٌ عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ (And a ban is laid on every town) Ibn `Abbas said, "it is enforced", i.e., it has been decreed that the people of each township that has been destroyed will never return to this world before the Day of Resurrection, as is reported clearly through other narrations from Ibn `Abbas, Abu Ja`far Al-Baqir, Qatadah and others. Ya'juj and Ma'juj حَتَّى إِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ (Until, when Ya`juj and Ma`juj are let loose,) We have already mentioned that they are from the progeny of Adam, upon him be peace; they are also descents of Nuh through his son Yafith (Japheth), who was the father of the Turks, Turk referring to the group of them who were left behind the barrier which was built by Dhul-Qarnayn. Allah says: هَذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّى فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى جَعَلَهُ دَكَّآءَ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى حَقّاًوَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ فِى بَعْضٍ (This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the promise of my Lord is ever true.…
