أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ
Or enjoineth piety?
أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward?
أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ
Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -
نَاصِيَةٖ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٖ
The lying, sinful forelock -
فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُۥ
Then let him call upon his henchmen!
سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ
We will call the guards of hell.
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩
Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).
