إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ

Innahu laqawlun faslun

Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ

Wama huwa bialhazli

It is not a thing for amusement.

إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا

Waakeedu kaydan

And I am planning a scheme.

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan

Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
