Notes

[7] Of His forgiveness and bounty.

We hope that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this. Truly, we turn to our Lord (wishing for good that He may forgive our sins and reward us in the Hereafter).

It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.

"It may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this: for we do turn to Him (in repentance)!"

Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it; surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition.

It may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a more charitable (i.e., better) one than it; surely to our Lord are we desirous (of His Grace)."
