69. Haka · verses 41–49

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ

Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!

وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.

وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ

Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ

Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ

Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
