وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفْس ٍ ظَلَمَتْ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ لاَفْتَدَتْ بِه ِِ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ
Wa Law 'Anna Likulli Nafsin žalamat Mā Fī Al-'ArĐi Lāftadat Bihi Wa 'Asarrū An-Nadāmata Lammā Ra'aw Al-`Adhāba Wa QuĐiya Baynahum Bil-Qisţi Wa Hum Lā Yužlamūna
And if every soul who wronged had possessed all that is on the earth, it would have attempted to ransom it. And they declared their regret when they saw the retribution, and it was judged between them with fairness. They were not wronged.
34:33
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا بَلْ مَكْرُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِذْ تَأْمُرُونَنَا أَنْ نَكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُ~ُ أَندَادا ً وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا الْعَذَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا الأَغْلاَلَ فِي أَعْنَاقِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

And those who were weak will say to those who were mighty: No, it was your scheming night and day, when you commanded us to reject God and to set up equals to Him. And they are filled with regret when they see the retribution and We will place shackles around the necks of those who rejected. Are they not being requited for what they used to do?

فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ غُرَابا ً يَبْحَثُ فِي الأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَه ُُ كَيْفَ يُوَارِي سَوْأَةَ أَخِيه ِِ قَالَ يَاوَيْلَتَا أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْغُرَابِ فَأُوَارِيَ سَوْأَةَ أَخِي فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ النَّادِمِينَ

So God sent forth a raven to scratch the land and show him how to deal with the body of his brother. He said: "Woe to me! Am I not even able to be like this raven and deal with the body of my brother?" So he became of those who regretted.

فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَض ٌ يُسَارِعُونَ فِيهِم يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَى أَنْ تُصِيبَنَا دَائِرَة ٌ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْر ٍ مِنْ عِنْدِه ِِ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا أَسَرُّوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ نَادِمِينَ

You will see those who have a disease in their hearts hurrying to them, saying: "We are concerned that a disaster will befall us!" Perhaps God will bring a victory or a decree from Himself, then they will become regretful over what they had kept hidden within themselves.
