فَذَكِّرۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٖ وَلَا مَجۡنُونٍ

Fathakkir fama anta biniAAmati rabbika bikahin wala majnoonin

Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٞ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيۡبَ ٱلۡمَنُونِ

Am yaqooloona shaAAirun natarabbasu bihi rayba almanooni

Or do they say:- "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

قُلۡ تَرَبَّصُواْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُتَرَبِّصِينَ

Qul tarabbasoo fainnee maAAakum mina almutarabbiseena

Say thou: "Await ye!- I too will wait along with you!"

أَمۡ تَأۡمُرُهُمۡ أَحۡلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآۚ أَمۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ

Am tamuruhum ahlamuhum bihatha am hum qawmun taghoona

Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥۚ بَل لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Am yaqooloona taqawwalahu bal la yuminoona

Or do they say, "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay, they have no faith!

فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِحَدِيثٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Falyatoo bihadeethin mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena

Let them then produce a recital like unto it,- If (it be) they speak the truth!
