مثل الذين كفروا بربهم اعمالهم كرماد اشتدت به الريح في يوم عاصف لا يقدرون مما كسبوا على شيء ذلك هو الضلال البعيد

The parable of those who Reject their Lord is that Their works are as ashes, On which the wind blows Furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over Aught that they have earned: That is the straying Far, far (from the goal).
