Then Moses returned very angry and sorrowful to his people, saying, 'My people, did your Lord not promise a fair promise to you? Did the time of the covenant seem so long to you, or did you desire that anger should alight on you from your Lord, so that you failed in your tryst with me?'

Daryabadi

Hilali & Khan

Then Musa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: \"O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming?

Qarai

Thereupon Moses returned to his people, indignant and grieved. He said, ‘O my people! Did your Lord not give you a true promise? Did the period [of my absence] seem too long to you? Or did you desire that your Lord’s wrath should descend on you and so you failed your tryst with me?’
