فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena

"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona

Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

Innahum kanoo itha qeela lahum la ilaha illa Allahu yastakbiroona

For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

Wayaqooloona ainna latarikoo alihatina lishaAAirin majnoonin

And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
