إِنَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجعىٰ

Yet, to your Lord is the return.

أَرَأَيتَ الَّذي يَنهىٰ

Did you see the one who forbids?

عَبدًا إِذا صَلّىٰ

A servant when he prays?

أَرَأَيتَ إِن كانَ عَلَى الهُدىٰ

Did you see if he is upon guidance?

أَو أَمَرَ بِالتَّقوىٰ

Or advocates righteousness?

أَلَم يَعلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرىٰ

Doesn’t he know that God sees?

كَلّا لَئِن لَم يَنتَهِ لَنَسفَعًا بِالنّاصِيَةِ

No indeed! If he does not desist, We will drag him by the forelock.

ناصِيَةٍ كاذِبَةٍ خاطِئَةٍ

A lying, sinful forelock.

فَليَدعُ نادِيَهُ

Let him call his helpers.

سَنَدعُ الزَّبانِيَةَ

We will call the Infernal Guards.
