فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Falaw anna lan a karratan fanakoona mina almumineen a
Would that we had a second chance [in life],47 so that we could be among the believers!"
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "would that there were a return for us". See also {6:27-28} and the corresponding note.

If we could but once return to our worldly life, we would be of the true believers."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
If only we could have a second chance, then we would be believers.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
" `Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!' " 3185
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

This apparent longing for a chance of return is dishonest. If they were sent back, they would certainly retum to their evil ways: vi. 27-28. Besides, they have had numerous chances already in this life, and they have used them for mischief or evil.
