ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ٢٢
Then he frowned and he scowled;
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ٢٢
Then he frowned and he scowled;
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ ٢٣
Then he turned back and was haughty;
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ ٢٤
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ ٢٥
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ٢٦
Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!
