وَلَو نَشاءُ لَمَسَخناهُم عَلىٰ مَكانَتِهِم فَمَا استَطاعوا مُضِيًّا وَلا يَرجِعونَ

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

وَمَن نُعَمِّرهُ نُنَكِّسهُ فِي الخَلقِ ۖ أَفَلا يَعقِلونَ

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

وَما عَلَّمناهُ الشِّعرَ وَما يَنبَغي لَهُ ۚ إِن هُوَ إِلّا ذِكرٌ وَقُرآنٌ مُبينٌ

And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an

لِيُنذِرَ مَن كانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ القَولُ عَلَى الكافِرينَ

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.

أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنّا خَلَقنا لَهُم مِمّا عَمِلَت أَيدينا أَنعامًا فَهُم لَها مالِكونَ

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?

وَلَهُم فيها مَنافِعُ وَمَشارِبُ ۖ أَفَلا يَشكُرونَ

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?

وَاتَّخَذوا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لَعَلَّهُم يُنصَرونَ

But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.

لا يَستَطيعونَ نَصرَهُم وَهُم لَهُم جُندٌ مُحضَرونَ

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.

فَلا يَحزُنكَ قَولُهُم ۘ إِنّا نَعلَمُ ما يُسِرّونَ وَما يُعلِنونَ

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

أَوَلَم يَرَ الإِنسانُ أَنّا خَلَقناهُ مِن نُطفَةٍ فَإِذا هُوَ خَصيمٌ مُبينٌ

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?
