إِذ جاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلبٍ سَليمٍ

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ وَقَومِهِ ماذا تَعبُدونَ

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

أَئِفكًا آلِهَةً دونَ اللَّهِ تُريدونَ

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?

فَما ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ العالَمينَ

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

فَنَظَرَ نَظرَةً فِي النُّجومِ

And he cast a look at the stars

فَتَوَلَّوا عَنهُ مُدبِرينَ

So they turned away from him, departing.

فَراغَ إِلىٰ آلِهَتِهِم فَقالَ أَلا تَأكُلونَ

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

ما لَكُم لا تَنطِقونَ

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

فَراغَ عَلَيهِم ضَربًا بِاليَمينِ

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

فَأَقبَلوا إِلَيهِ يَزِفّونَ

Then the people came toward him, hastening.
