وَيَحْلِفُونَ
بِاللَّهِ
إِنَّهُمْ
لَمِنكُمْ
وَمَا
هُم
مِّنكُمْ
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ
قَوْمٌ
يَفْرَقُونَ
wa-yaḥlifūna bi-llāhi ʾinnahum la-minkum wa-mā hum minkum wa-lākinnahum qawmun yafraqūna
They swear by Allah that they belong to you, but they do not belong to you. Rather, they are a frightened lot.
— Ali Quli Qarai
They swear by Allah that they are indeed of you; but they are not of you: yet they are afraid (to appear in their true colours).
