ما لَكُم كَيفَ تَحكُمونَ

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

أَم لَكُم كِتابٌ فيهِ تَدرُسونَ

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

إِنَّ لَكُم فيهِ لَما تَخَيَّرونَ

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

أَم لَكُم أَيمانٌ عَلَينا بالِغَةٌ إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُم لَما تَحكُمونَ

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

سَلهُم أَيُّهُم بِذٰلِكَ زَعيمٌ

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

يَومَ يُكشَفُ عَن ساقٍ وَيُدعَونَ إِلَى السُّجودِ فَلا يَستَطيعونَ

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,

خاشِعَةً أَبصارُهُم تَرهَقُهُم ذِلَّةٌ ۖ وَقَد كانوا يُدعَونَ إِلَى السُّجودِ وَهُم سالِمونَ

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

فَذَرني وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهـٰذَا الحَديثِ ۖ سَنَستَدرِجُهُم مِن حَيثُ لا يَعلَمونَ

So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

وَأُملي لَهُم ۚ إِنَّ كَيدي مَتينٌ

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

أَم تَسأَلُهُم أَجرًا فَهُم مِن مَغرَمٍ مُثقَلونَ

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
