وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

WaalshshuAAarao yattabiAAuhumu alghawoona

And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ

Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadin yaheemoona

Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-
