إِنَّا كَفَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ
Who set some other god along with Allah. But they will come to know.
Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Well know We that thy bosom is oppressed by what they say,
And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say;
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
But hymn the praise of thy Lord, and be of those who make prostration (unto Him).
Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
And serve thy Lord till the Inevitable cometh unto thee.
And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain.
وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ
