بَلْ
قَالُوا
أَضْغَاثُ
أَحْلَامٍ
بَلِ
افْتَرَاهُ
بَلْ
هُوَ
شَاعِرٌ
فَلْيَأْتِنَا
بِآيَةٍ
كَمَا
أُرْسِلَ
الْأَوَّلُونَ

"Nay," they say, "(these are) medleys of dream! - Nay, He forged it! - Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (Prophets) of old!"
— Abdullah Yusufali
But they said, ‘[They are] muddled dreams!’ ‘Indeed, he has fabricated it!’ ‘Indeed, he is a poet!’ ‘Let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the former generations.’
