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."

وَلَقَد سَبَقَت كَلِمَتُنا لِعِبادِنَا المُرسَلينَ

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُم لَهُمُ المَنصورونَ

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنا لَهُمُ الغالِبونَ

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنهُم حَتّىٰ حينٍ

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.

وَأَبصِرهُم فَسَوفَ يُبصِرونَ

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
