84. Inshikak · verses 14–22

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

Waallayli wama wasaqa

The Night and its Homing;

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

And the Moon in her fullness:

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Fama lahum la yuminoona

What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩

Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

And when the Qur´an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
