Surah [7] Al-A'raf : 176

وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَرَفَعۡنٰهُ بِهَا وَلٰـكِنَّهٗۤ اَخۡلَدَ اِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰٮهُ‌ ۚ فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ الۡـكَلۡبِ‌ ۚ اِنۡ تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡهِ يَلۡهَثۡ اَوۡ تَتۡرُكۡهُ يَلۡهَث ‌ؕ ذٰ لِكَ مَثَلُ الۡقَوۡمِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا‌ ۚ فَاقۡصُصِ الۡقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ(الأعراف :176)

وَلَوْ
And if
شِئْنَا
We willed
لَرَفَعْنَٰهُ
surely We (could) have raised him
بِهَا
with these
وَلَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ
[and] but he
أَخْلَدَ
adhered
إِلَى
to
ٱلْأَرْضِ
the earth
وَٱتَّبَعَ
and followed
هَوَىٰهُۚ
his (vain) desires
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
So his example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like (the) example
ٱلْكَلْبِ
(of) the dog
إِن
if
تَحْمِلْ
you attack
عَلَيْهِ
[on] him
يَلْهَثْ
he lolls out his tongue
أَوْ
or
تَتْرُكْهُ
if you leave him
يَلْهَثۚ
he lolls out his tongue
ذَّٰلِكَ
That
مَثَلُ
(is the) example
ٱلْقَوْمِ
(of) the people
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
كَذَّبُوا۟
denied
بِـَٔايَٰتِنَاۚ
[in] Our Signs
فَٱقْصُصِ
So relate
ٱلْقَصَصَ
the story
لَعَلَّهُمْ
so that they may
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
reflect

Walaw shina larafa'nahu biha walakinnahu akhlada ila alardi waittaba'a hawahu famathaluhu kamathali alkalbi in tahmil 'alayhi yalhath aw tatrukhu yalhath thalika mathalu alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina faoqsusi alqasasa la'allahum yatafakkaroona

Sahih International:

And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog; if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
