بَل قُلوبُهُم في غَمرَةٍ مِن هـٰذا وَلَهُم أَعمالٌ مِن دونِ ذٰلِكَ هُم لَها عامِلونَ

But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,

حَتّىٰ إِذا أَخَذنا مُترَفيهِم بِالعَذابِ إِذا هُم يَجأَرونَ

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.

لا تَجأَرُوا اليَومَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِنّا لا تُنصَرونَ

Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

قَد كانَت آياتي تُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم فَكُنتُم عَلىٰ أَعقابِكُم تَنكِصونَ

My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

مُستَكبِرينَ بِهِ سامِرًا تَهجُرونَ

In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.

أَم لَم يَعرِفوا رَسولَهُم فَهُم لَهُ مُنكِرونَ

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

أَم يَقولونَ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ۚ بَل جاءَهُم بِالحَقِّ وَأَكثَرُهُم لِلحَقِّ كارِهونَ

Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الحَقُّ أَهواءَهُم لَفَسَدَتِ السَّماواتُ وَالأَرضُ وَمَن فيهِنَّ ۚ بَل أَتَيناهُم بِذِكرِهِم فَهُم عَن ذِكرِهِم مُعرِضونَ

But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

أَم تَسأَلُهُم خَرجًا فَخَراجُ رَبِّكَ خَيرٌ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيرُ الرّازِقينَ

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدعوهُم إِلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.
