Surah Al-Kahf (The Cave), Verse 42

وَاُحِیْطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصْبَحَ یُقَلِّبُ كَفَّیْهِ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَنْفَقَ فِیْهَا وَهِیَ خَاوِیَةٌ عَلٰی عُرُوْشِهَا وَیَقُوْلُ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّیْۤ اَحَدًا ۟

Wa uheeta bisamarihee faasbaha yuqallibu kaffaihi 'alaa maaa anfaqa feehaa wa hiya khaawiyatun 'alaa 'urooshihaa wa yaqoolu yaalaitanee lam ushrik bi Rabbeee ahadaa

So his fruits (and enjoyment) were encompassed (with ruin), and he remained twisting and turning his hands over what he had spent on his property, which had (now) tumbled to pieces to its very foundations, and he could only say, "Woe is me! Would I had never ascribed partners to my Lord and Cherisher!"
