Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers..."1053

“If only we could return once more to the worldly life, so that we could be from those who believed in Allah.”
If only we had a chance to return, we would be among the believers.”
(Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!
Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!
"'Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"
But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.
So, if we had (a chance) to recur, (i.e., to live again) then we should be among the believers!"
إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ ٱلنَّارِ
Indeed, that is truth [i.e., reality] - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.
