No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
Keineswegs! Wenn er nicht aufhört, werden Wir ihn ganz gewiß an der Stirnlocke packen und ziehen,
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ

einer Stirnlocke, einer lügnerischen, einer verfehlt handelnden.
نَاصِيَةٍ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ

Then let him summon his council,
So soll er doch seine Genossen rufen.

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب
