فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ

Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

And heed not when they are reminded,

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ

And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers?

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
