﴿٤﴾

Without diacritics

واذا رايتهم تعجبك اجسامهم وان يقولوا تسمع لقولهم كانهم خشب مسندة يحسبون كل صيحة عليهم هم العدو فاحذرهم قاتلهم الله انى يؤفكون

When thou lookest At them, their exteriors Please thee; and when They speak, thou listenest To their words. They are As (worthless as hollow) Pieces of timber propped up, (Unable to stand on their own). They think that every Cry is against them. They are the enemies; So beware of them. The curse of God be On them! How are they Deluded (away from the Truth)!
