Sura 78
Aya 40
40
إِنّا أَنذَرناكُم عَذابًا قَريبًا يَومَ يَنظُرُ المَرءُ ما قَدَّمَت يَداهُ وَيَقولُ الكافِرُ يا لَيتَني كُنتُ تُرابًا

(Saheeh International)

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth1 and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
  • i.e., the deeds he did in this world, which await him in the Hereafter.
