﴿١٤﴾

Without diacritics

له دعوة الحق والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء الا كباسط كفيه الى الماء ليبلغ فاه وما هو ببالغه وما دعاء الكافرين الا في ضلال

For Him (alone) is prayer In Truth: any others that they Call upon besides Him hear them No more than if they were To stretch forth their hands For water to reach their mouths But it reaches them not: For the prayer of those Without Faith is nothing But (futile) wandering (in the mind).
