لَوْ إِسْتَشْفَعْنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا
If only we had sought intercession from our Lord.
اسْتَشْفَعْنَا — we sought intercession. A finished-action verb built on an expanded 'seek/ask-for' pattern, where extra letters on the root add the sense of seeking out the action. The ending -na fixes the doer as 'we'. Under the 'if only' particle before it, this past form reads as an unrealized wish, what the speakers wish they had done.
