Without diacritics

واذا مس الانسان الضر دعانا لجنبه او قاعدا او قائما فلما كشفنا عنه ضره مر كان لم يدعنا الى ضر مسه كذلك زين للمسرفين ما كانوا يعملون

When trouble toucheth a man, He crieth unto Us (In all postures)—lying down On his side, or sitting, Or standing. But when We Have solved his trouble, He passeth on his way as if He had never cried to Us For a trouble that touched him! Thus do the deeds of transgressors Seem fair in their eyes!
