يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ

Yulqoona alssamAAa waaktharuhum kathiboona

(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.

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?-

وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ

Waannahum yaqooloona ma la yafAAaloona

And that they say what they practise not?-
