إِنَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجعىٰ

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

أَرَأَيتَ الَّذي يَنهىٰ

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبدًا إِذا صَلّىٰ

A servant when he prays?

أَرَأَيتَ إِن كانَ عَلَى الهُدىٰ

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَو أَمَرَ بِالتَّقوىٰ

Or enjoins righteousness?

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 -

ناصِيَةٍ كاذِبَةٍ خاطِئَةٍ

A lying, sinning forelock.

فَليَدعُ نادِيَهُ

Then let him call his associates;

سَنَدعُ الزَّبانِيَةَ

We will call the angels of Hell.
