سُبحانَ اللَّهِ عَمّا يَصِفونَ

Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

إِلّا عِبادَ اللَّهِ المُخلَصينَ

Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].

فَإِنَّكُم وَما تَعبُدونَ

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

ما أَنتُم عَلَيهِ بِفاتِنينَ

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلّا مَن هُوَ صالِ الجَحيمِ

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

وَإِنّا لَنَحنُ الصّافّونَ

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

وَإِنّا لَنَحنُ المُسَبِّحونَ

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

وَإِن كانوا لَيَقولونَ

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

لَو أَنَّ عِندَنا ذِكرًا مِنَ الأَوَّلينَ

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنّا عِبادَ اللَّهِ المُخلَصينَ

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
