يقولون أإنا لمردودون في الحافرة

وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
والجبال أرساها
Waaljibala arsaha
And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

كأنهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا إلا عشية أو ضحاها
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
