يَسْمَعُ
آيَاتِ
اللَّهِ
تُتْلَى
عَلَيْهِ
ثُمَّ
يُصِرُّ
مُسْتَكْبِرًا
كَأَن
لَّمْ
يَسْمَعْهَا
فَبَشِّرْهُ
بِعَذَابٍ
أَلِيمٍ
yasmaʿu ʾāyāti llāhi tutlā ʿalayhi thumma yuṣirru mustakbiran ka-ʾan lam yasmaʿhā fa-bashshirhu bi-ʿadhābin ʾalīmin
He hears the Signs of Allah rehearsed to him, yet is obstinate and lofty, as if he had not heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Grievous!
— Abdullah Yusufali
who hears the signs of Allah being recited to him, yet persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So inform him of a painful punishment.
