Wa iny yaraw aayatany yu'ridoo wa yaqooloo sihrum mustamirr

And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

Muhti'eena ilad daa'i yaqoolul kafiroona haazaa yawmun 'asir

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

Faqaalooo a-basharam minnaa waahidan nattabi'uhooo innaa izal lafee dalaalinw wa su'ur

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.

'A-ulqiyaz zikru 'alaihi mim baininaa bal huwa kazzaabun ashir

Fanaadaw saahibahum fata'aataa fa'aqar

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
