هَؤُلَاءِ
قَوْمُنَا
اتَّخَذُوا
مِن
دُونِهِ
آلِهَةً
لَّوْلَا
يَأْتُونَ
عَلَيْهِم
بِسُلْطَانٍ
بَيِّنٍ
فَمَنْ
أَظْلَمُ
مِمَّنِ
افْتَرَى
عَلَى
اللَّهِ
كَذِبًا

"These our people have taken for worship gods other than Him: why do they not bring forward an authority clear (and convincing) for what they do? Who doth more wrong than such as invent a falsehood against Allah?
— Abdullah Yusufali
These—our people—have taken gods besides Him. Why do they not bring any clear authority touching them? So who is a greater wrongdoer than he who fabricates a lie against Allah?
