If only you had let us enjoy it.
أَمْتَعْتَنَا — you had let us enjoy. A finished-action verb addressed to 'you' (the -ta ending) with -na, 'us', glued on as its object, so the word holds doer, action and recipients together. Under the 'if only' frame its past shape reads as the unreal 'had you let us enjoy'.
