لَوْ
أَنزَلْنَا
هَذَا
الْقُرْآنَ
عَلَى
جَبَلٍ
لَّرَأَيْتَهُ
خَاشِعًا
مُّتَصَدِّعًا
مِّنْ
خَشْيَةِ
اللَّهِ
وَتِلْكَ
الْأَمْثَالُ
نَضْرِبُهَا
لِلنَّاسِ
لَعَلَّهُمْ
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, verily, thou wouldst have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah. Such are the similitudes which We propound to men, that they may reflect.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Had We sent down this Quran upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled [and] go to pieces with the fear of Allah. We draw such comparisons for mankind, so that they may reflect.
