Surah Maryam (Mary), Verse 23

فَاَجَآءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰی جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْیًا مَّنْسِیًّا ۟

Fa ajaaa 'ahal makhaadu ilaa jiz'in nakhlati qaalat yaa laitanee mittu qabla haazaa wa kuntu nasyam mansiyyaa

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"
