Iqtaraba linnaasi hisaa buhum wa hum fee ghaflatim mu'ridoon
[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.
Maa yaateehim min zikrim mir Rabbihim muhdasin illas tama'oohu wa hum yal'aboon
No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play
Laahiyatan quloobuhum; wa asarrun najwal lazeena zalamoo hal haazaa illaa basharum mislukum afataa toonas sihra wa antum tubsiroon
With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"
Qaala Rabbee ya'lamul qawla fis samaaa'i wal ardi wa Huwas Samee'ul Aleem
He [the Prophet (^)] said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."
Bal qaalooo adghaasu ahlaamim balif taraahu bal huwa shaa'irun falyaatinaa bi Aayatin kamaa ursilal awwaloon
But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."
Maaa aaamanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaahaa a-fahum yu'minoon
Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe?
Wa maaa arsalnaa qablaka illaa rijaalan nooheee ilaihim fas'aloo ahlaz zikri in kuntum laa ta'lamoon
And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.
Wa maa ja'alnaahum jasadal laa yaakuloonat ta'aama wa maa kaanoo khaalideen
And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].
summa sadaqnaa humul wa'da fa-anjainaahum wa man nashaaa'u wa ahlaknal musrifeen
Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.
Laqad anzalnaaa ilaikum Kitaaban feehi zikrukum afalaa ta'qiloon
We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Quran] in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?
