    مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا يُحَرِّفُوۡنَ الۡـكَلِمَ عَنۡ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ وَ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ سَمِعۡنَا وَعَصَيۡنَا وَاسۡمَعۡ غَيۡرَ مُسۡمَعٍ وَّرَاعِنَا لَـيًّۢا بِاَ لۡسِنَتِهِمۡ وَطَعۡنًا فِى  الدِّيۡنِ‌ ؕ وَلَوۡ اَنَّهُمۡ قَالُوۡا سَمِعۡنَا وَاَطَعۡنَا وَاسۡمَعۡ وَانْظُرۡنَا لَـكَانَ خَيۡرًا لَّهُمۡ وَاَقۡوَمَ ۙ وَ لٰـكِنۡ لَّعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا‏

May-nul-la-zee-na-haa-do                                                                                                                  Yo-hur-ray-foo-nul-ka-lay-ma-un-ma-waa-zay-aiy-he

Wa-ya-qoo-loo-na-sa-maye-naa-wa-aa-saiy-naa                                                                        Wus-mau-ghai-ra-moos-ma-in                                                                                                            Wa-raa-aiy-naa-luy-yun-bay-ul-say-na-tay-him                                                                          Wa-tau-nun-fid-deen

Wa-lao-un-na-hoom-qaa-loo-sa-maye-naa-wa-aa-tau-naa                                                    Wus-mau-wun-zoor-naa                                                                                                                      La-kaa-na-khai-run-la-hoom-wa-uq-wa-ma

Wa-laa-kin-lau-na-ho-mool-laa-ho-bay-koof-ray-him                                                                  Fa-laa-yoe-may-noo-na-il-laa-qa-lee-laa

Among those who took the right road                                                                                Some twist the word from its proper places

And they say, “We heard and we disobeyed”                                                                      And “Hear us without hearing God”                                                                                And “Look at us” twisting with their tongues                                                                And trying to mess the matters of faith

And if they had said, “We heard and we obeyed”                                                            And “Hear us and look at us with kindness”                                                                    It would have been better and stronger for them

But Allah cursed them with their disbelief                                                              So they don’t believe except a little
