Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning: yet they heed not and they turn away. |
 |
Never comes (aught) to them of a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as in jest,- |
 |
Their hearts toying as with trifles. The wrong-doers conceal their private counsels, (saying), "Is this (one) more than a man like yourselves? Will ye go to witchcraft with your eyes open?" |
 |
Say: "My Lord knoweth (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth: He is the One that heareth and knoweth (all things)." |
 |
Nay, they say, "(these are) medleys of dream! - Nay, He forged it! - Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (Prophets) of old!" |
