اومن كان ميتا فاحييناه وجعلنا له نورا يمشي به في الناس كمن مثله في الظلمات ليس بخارج منها كذلك زين للكافرين ما كانوا يعملون

Can he who was dead, To whom We gave life, And a Light whereby He can walk amongst men, Be like him who is In the depths of darkness, From which he can Never come out? Thus to those without Faith Their own deeds seem pleasing.
