No! [But] indeed, man transgresses6
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ7
Because he sees himself self-sufficient7

A servant when he prays10

Have you seen if he is upon guidance11
أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ12

Have you seen if he denies and turns away13
أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ14
Does he not know that Allah sees14
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ15
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock15

We will call the angels of Hell18
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩19
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah]19
