قُل
لَّوْ
كَانَ
الْبَحْرُ
مِدَادًا
لِّكَلِمَاتِ
رَبِّي
لَنَفِدَ
الْبَحْرُ
قَبْلَ
أَن
تَنفَدَ
كَلِمَاتُ
رَبِّي
وَلَوْ
جِئْنَا
بِمِثْلِهِ
مَدَدًا

Say: "If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid."
— Abdullah Yusufali
Say, ‘If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be spent before the words of my Lord are finished, though We replenish it with another like it.’
