فَيَأتِيَهُم بَغتَةً وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقولوا هَل نَحنُ مُنظَرونَ

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

أَفَبِعَذابِنا يَستَعجِلونَ

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَأَيتَ إِن مَتَّعناهُم سِنينَ

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جاءَهُم ما كانوا يوعَدونَ

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

وَما أَهلَكنا مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا لَها مُنذِرونَ

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكرىٰ وَما كُنّا ظالِمينَ

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَما تَنَزَّلَت بِهِ الشَّياطينُ

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

وَما يَنبَغي لَهُم وَما يَستَطيعونَ

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُم عَنِ السَّمعِ لَمَعزولونَ

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.
