Qur'an 39:56
أَنْ تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ٥٦
Lest any soul should say: Alas, my grief that I was unmindful of Allah, and I was indeed among the scoffers!

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 39:56
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
ثم حذرهم { أَن } يستمروا على غفلتهم، حتى يأتيهم يوم يندمون فيه، ولا تنفع الندامة.و { تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ } أي: في جانب حقه. { وَإِنْ كُنْت } في الدنيا { لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ } في إتيان الجزاء، حتى رأيته عيانا.
