۞ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌۭ مُّسَنَّدَةٌۭ ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ ۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
How to read it
wa'idhā ra'ay'tahum' tuʻ'jibuka 'aj'sāmuhum' . wa'in yaqūlū tas'maʻ' liqaw'lihim' . ka'annahum' khushubun mmussannadatun . yaḥ'sabūna kulla ṣay'ḥatin ʻalay'him' . humu l-ʻaduwu fa-ḥ'dhar'hum' . qātalahumu -llahu . 'annā yu''fakūna
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 Allah be on them! How are they deluded (away from the Truth)!
