﴿ يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ﴾
“He will say, "Oh, would that I had. provided beforehand for my life [to come]!"”
(He will say: Ah, would that) wishing: if only (I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!) if only I have worked in my previous perishing life to this everlasting life.
