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.

أَم لَهُم شُرَكاءُ فَليَأتوا بِشُرَكائِهِم إِن كانوا صادِقينَ

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

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.

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?

أَم عِندَهُمُ الغَيبُ فَهُم يَكتُبونَ

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

فَاصبِر لِحُكمِ رَبِّكَ وَلا تَكُن كَصاحِبِ الحوتِ إِذ نادىٰ وَهُوَ مَكظومٌ

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

لَولا أَن تَدارَكَهُ نِعمَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالعَراءِ وَهُوَ مَذمومٌ

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.
