أَلَا
إِنَّهُمْ
يَثْنُونَ
صُدُورَهُمْ
لِيَسْتَخْفُوا
مِنْهُ
أَلَا
حِينَ
يَسْتَغْشُونَ
ثِيَابَهُمْ
يَعْلَمُ
مَا
يُسِرُّونَ
وَمَا
يُعْلِنُونَ
إِنَّهُ
عَلِيمٌ
بِذَاتِ

Behold! they fold up their hearts, that they may lie hid from Him! Ah even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knoweth what they conceal, and what they reveal: for He knoweth well the (inmost secrets) of the hearts.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Look! They fold up their breasts to hide [their secret feelings] from Him. Look! When they draw their cloaks over their heads, He knows whatever they keep secret and whatever they disclose. Indeed, He knows best whatever is in the breasts.
