تِلۡكَ الۡقُرٰى نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ اَنۡۢبَآٮِٕهَا ۚ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُمۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ ۚ فَمَا كَانُوۡا لِيُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِمَا كَذَّبُوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوۡبِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ
Til-ka ul-qo-raa na-qoos-so aa-lai ka min aun-baa-aiy haa
Wa la qaud jaa-aut hoom ro-so-lo hoom bay il-buy-ya-naa-tay
Fa maa kaa-noo lay yoe-may-noo bay-maa kauz-za-boo min qaub-lo
Ka-zaa-lay-ka yaut-ba-o ol-laa-ho aa-laa qo-loo-bay il-kaa-fay-ree-n
These are the towns We have told you of their happenings.
Their messenger had certainly come to them with clear signs
But they surely could not believe what they had belied before.
This is how Allah put a seal on the hearts of the disbelievers.
