رُبَما يَوَدُّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَو كانوا مُسلِمينَ

Perhaps those who disbelieve would wish that they had been Submitters.

ذَرهُم يَأكُلوا وَيَتَمَتَّعوا وَيُلهِهِمُ الأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوفَ يَعلَمونَ

Let them eat, enjoy, and let false hope distract them. Soon they will know.

وَما أَهلَكنا مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا وَلَها كِتابٌ مَعلومٌ

We’ve never destroyed a community that didn’t have a known term.

ما تَسبِقُ مِن أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَها وَما يَستَأخِرونَ

No community can accelerate or postpone its appointed time.

وَقالوا يا أَيُّهَا الَّذي نُزِّلَ عَلَيهِ الذِّكرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجنونٌ

They said, “O you to whom the reminder was revealed, you are surely deranged.”
