Transliteration:( Wa lam takul lahoo fi'atuny yansuroonahoo min doonil laahi wa maa kaana muntasiraa )
"And he had no group to help him against Allah, nor could he defend himself [102]."
This means that neither his supporters nor well-wishers could help him restore the destroyed garden, nor was he himself capable of doing so.
He had no strength, wealth, or ability to start anew.
The phrase "nor could he defend himself" implies he had no means to retaliate or rebuild, symbolising his complete helplessness after the Divine punishment.
