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

فَقالَ إِنّي سَقيمٌ

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

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?

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.

قالَ أَتَعبُدونَ ما تَنحِتونَ

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُم وَما تَعمَلونَ

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

قالُوا ابنوا لَهُ بُنيانًا فَأَلقوهُ فِي الجَحيمِ

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."
