أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ
Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?
ara-ayta alladhī yukadhibu bil-dīni
فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
For that is the one who drives away the orphan
fadhālika alladhī yaduʿʿu l-yatīma
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
walā yaḥuḍḍu ʿalā ṭaʿāmi l-mis'kīni
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ
So woe to those who pray
fawaylun lil'muṣallīna
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[But] who are heedless of their prayer1 -
alladhīna hum ʿan ṣalātihim sāhūna
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ
Those who make show [of their deeds]
alladhīna hum yurāūna
وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ
And withhold [simple] assistance.
