فلما انجاهم اذا هم يبغون في الارض بغير الحق يا ايها الناس انما بغيكم على انفسكم متاع الحياة الدنيا ثم الينا مرجعكم فننبئكم بما كنتم تعملون

But when he delivereth them, Behold! they transgress Insolently through the earth In defiance of right! O mankind! your insolence Is against your own souls,— An enjoyment of the life Of the Present: in the end, To Us is your return, And We shall show you The truth of all that ye did.
