عَلَّمَ الإِنسانَ ما لَم يَعلَم
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلّا إِنَّ الإِنسانَ لَيَطغىٰ
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
أَن رَآهُ استَغنىٰ
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
إِنَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجعىٰ
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
أَرَأَيتَ الَّذي يَنهىٰ
Have you seen the one who forbids
أَرَأَيتَ إِن كانَ عَلَى الهُدىٰ
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
أَو أَمَرَ بِالتَّقوىٰ
Or enjoins righteousness?
أَرَأَيتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
أَلَم يَعلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرىٰ
Does he not know that Allah sees?
كَلّا لَئِن لَم يَنتَهِ لَنَسفَعًا بِالنّاصِيَةِ
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
