بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
ara-ayta alladhī yukadhibu bil-dīni
Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?
fadhālika alladhī yaduʿʿu l-yatīma
For that is the one who drives away the orphan
walā yaḥuḍḍu ʿalā ṭaʿāmi l-mis'kīni
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
fawaylun lil'muṣallīna
So woe to those who pray
alladhīna hum ʿan ṣalātihim sāhūna
[But] who are heedless of their prayer -
alladhīna hum yurāūna
Those who make show [of their deeds]
wayamnaʿūna l-māʿūna
And withhold [simple] assistance.
