ثُمَّ
نُكِسُوا
عَلَى
رُءُوسِهِمْ
لَقَدْ
عَلِمْتَ
مَا
هَؤُلَاءِ
يَنطِقُونَ
thumma nukisū ʿalā ruʾūsihim la-qad ʿalimta mā hāʾulāʾi yanṭiqūna
Then they hung their heads. [However, they said,] ‘You certainly know that they cannot speak.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"
