كَلّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ لِآياتِنا عَنيدًا

Indeed, no! He was stubborn towards Our revelations.

سَأُرهِقُهُ صَعودًا

I will impose on him a steep uphill climb.

إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

He thought and decided.

فَقُتِلَ كَيفَ قَدَّرَ

May he be destroyed, how he decided!

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيفَ قَدَّرَ

Then may he be destroyed, how he decided!

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

Then he frowned and grimaced.

ثُمَّ أَدبَرَ وَاستَكبَرَ

Then he turned his back and swelled with pride.

فَقالَ إِن هـٰذا إِلّا سِحرٌ يُؤثَرُ

He said, “This is nothing but magic inherited from antiquity.

إِن هـٰذا إِلّا قَولُ البَشَرِ

This is nothing but the word of a human.”

سَأُصليهِ سَقَرَ

I will thrust him into Saqar.
