تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ

Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen

These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen

It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een

If (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen

But there comes not to them a newly-revealed Message from (Allah) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem

Do they not look at the earth,- how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Inna fee zaalika la Aaya; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen

Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,-

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon

"The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?"

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon

He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood:

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon

"My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon

"And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma'akum mustami'oon

Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen

"So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: 'We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds;

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel

"'Send thou with us the Children of Israel.'"

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen

(Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life?

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen

"And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!"

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen

Moses said: "I did it then, when I was in error.

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen

"So I fled from you (all) when I feared you; but my Lord has (since) invested me with judgment (and wisdom) and appointed me as one of the messengers.

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel

"And this is the favour with which thou dost reproach me,- that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel!"

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen

Pharaoh said: "And what is the 'Lord and Cherisher of the worlds'?"

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen

(Moses) said: "The Lord and Cherisher of the heavens and the earth, and all between,- if ye want to be quite sure."

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami'oon

(Pharaoh) said to those around: "Did ye not listen (to what he says)?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

(Moses) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers from the beginning!"

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon

(Pharaoh) said: "Truly your messenger who has been sent to you is a veritable madman!"

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon

(Moses) said: "Lord of the East and the West, and all between! if ye only had sense!"

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ

Qaala la'init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj'alannaka minal masjooneen

(Pharaoh) said: "If thou dost put forward any god other than me, I will certainly put thee in prison!"

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ

Qaala awalaw ji'tuka bishai'im mubeen

(Moses) said: "Even if I showed you something clear (and) convincing?"

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen

(Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!"

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen

So (Moses) threw his rod, and behold, it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen

And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ

Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem

(Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well-versed:

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon

"His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen

They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect-

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem

"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed."

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom

So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well-known,

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon

And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled?-

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen

"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen

He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon

Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon

So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon

Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen

Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen

Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon

"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee 'alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta'lamoon; la uqatti'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma'een

Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon

They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunaa khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen

"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon

By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen

Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon

(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon

"And they are raging furiously against us;

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon

"But we are a multitude amply fore-warned."

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

So We expelled them from gardens, springs,

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem

Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel

Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon

And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

(Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem

Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain.

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen

And We made the other party approach thither.

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een

We delivered Moses and all who were with him;

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

But We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu'mineen

Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Watlu 'alaihim naba-a Ibraaheem

And rehearse to them (something of) Abraham's story.

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maa ta'budoon

Behold, he said to his father and his people: "What worship ye?"

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

Qaaloo na'budu asnaaman fanazallu lahaa 'aakifeen

They said: "We worship idols, and we remain constantly in attendance on them."

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

Qaala hal yasma'oona kum iz tad'oon

He said: "Do they listen to you when ye call (on them)?"

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

Aw yanfa'oonakum aw yadurroon

"Or do you good or harm?"

Qaaloo bal wajadnaaa aabaaa 'anaa kazaalika yaf'aloon

"Ye and your fathers before you?-

By way of reminder; and We never are unjust.

It would neither suit them nor would they be able (to produce it).

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ

Innahum 'anis sam'i lama'zooloon

Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ

Falaa tad'u ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara fatakoona minal mu'azzabeen

So call not on any other god with Allah, or thou wilt be among those under the Penalty.

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ

Wa anzir 'asheeratakal aqrabeen

And admonish thy nearest kinsmen,

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Wakhfid janaahaka limanit taba 'aka minal mu'mineen

And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee.

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

Fa in asawka faqul innee bareee'um mimmmaa ta'maloon

Then if they disobey thee, say: "I am free (of responsibility) for what ye do!"

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Wa tawakkal alal 'Azeezir Raheem

And put thy trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,-

ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Allazee yaraaka heena taqoom

Who seeth thee standing forth (in prayer),

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

Wa taqallubaka fis saajideen

And thy movements among those who prostrate themselves,

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

Innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

For it is He Who heareth and knoweth all things.

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

Hal unabbi'ukum 'alaa man tanazzalush Shayaateen

Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ

Tanazzalu 'alaa kulli affaakin aseem

They descend on every lying, wicked person,

يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ

Yulqoonas sam'a wa aksaruhum kaaziboon

(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

Washshu 'araaa'u yattabi 'uhumul ghaawoon

And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ

Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon

Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-

وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ

Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf'aloon

And that they say what they practise not?-

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ

Illal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo min ba'di maa zulimoo; wa saya'lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalabiny yanqaliboon

Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
