اِنَّ الۡمُنٰفِقِيۡنَ يُخٰدِعُوۡنَ اللّٰهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمۡ‌ ۚ وَاِذَا قَامُوۡۤا اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ قَامُوۡا كُسَالٰى ۙ يُرَآءُوۡنَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ اللّٰهَ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا 

In-nul-mo-naa-fay-qe-na-yo-khaa-day-oo-nul-laa-ha                                                                  Wa-ho-wa-khaa-day-o-him                                                                                                                Wa-ezaa-qaa-moo-elus-sa-laa-tay                                                                                                  Qaa-moo-ko-sa-laa-yo-raa-oo-nun-naa-sa                                                                                   Wa-laa-yuz-ko-roo-nul-laa-ha-illa-qa-le-laa

Certainly the hypocrites deceive Allah                                                                                But He is a planner for them                                                                                                    And when they stand for the prayer                                                                                      They stand lazily. They show off to people                                                                          And do not remember Allah except a little
