وَهُمْ یَصْطَرِخُوْنَ فِیْهَا ۚ رَبَّنَاۤ اَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ؕ اَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَّا یَتَذَكَّرُ فِیْهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَآءَكُمُ النَّذِیْرُ ؕ فَذُوْقُوْا فَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ نَّصِیْرٍ ۟۠

Saheeh International
And they will cry out therein, "Our Lord, remove us; we will do righteousness - other than what we were doing!" But did We not grant you life enough for whoever would remember therein to remember, and the warner had come to you? So taste [the punishment], for there is not for the wrongdoers any helper.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
They will cry out therein as loud as they can, seeking help by saying: Our Lord! Let us out from the fire, and we will do righteous deeds, different to what we did before so that we can attain Your pleasure and be saved from Your punishment. Allah will respond to them thus: Did I not let you live a life long enough so that anyone who wanted to take heed could do so and do righteous deeds; and the Messenger came to you to warn you of Allah’s punishment? Thus you have no argument nor any excuse after all of this, so taste the punishment of the fire. Those who wrong themselves by disbelief and sins will have no helper to rescue them from Allah’s punishment or lighten it for them.
