أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Do they not see how the cloud is created?

Afala yanthuroona ila al-ibili kayfa khuliqat

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

So recite the divine Verses to the people at large. Your only responsibility is to recite

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

You have no control over them

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

To Us indeed is their return

Inna ilayna iyabahum

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

Then it is for Us to call them to account

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
