لَا
تَحْسَبَنَّ
الَّذِينَ
يَفْرَحُونَ
بِمَا
أَتَوا
وَّيُحِبُّونَ
أَن
يُحْمَدُوا
بِمَا
لَمْ
يَفْعَلُوا
فَلَا
تَحْسَبَنَّهُم
بِمَفَازَةٍ
مِّنَ
الْعَذَابِ
وَلَهُمْ
عَذَابٌ
أَلِيمٌ
lā taḥsabanna lladhīna yafraḥūna bi-mā ʾataw wa-yuḥibbūna ʾan yuḥmadū bi-mā lam yafʿalū fa-lā taḥsabannahum bi-mafāzatin mina l-ʿadhābi wa-lahum ʿadhābun ʾalīmun
Do not suppose those who brag about what they have done, and love to be praised for what they have not done—do not suppose them saved from punishment and there is a painful punishment for them.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Think not that those who exult in what they have brought about, and love to be praised for what they have not done,- think escape the penalty. For them is a penalty Grievous indeed.
