Is there any that
Can give any guidance
Towards Truth?" Say: "It is God

Or he who finds not guidance
(Himself) unless he is guided?
What then is the matter
With you? How judge ye?"

There is no doubt
From the Lord of the Worlds.

A Sra like unto it,
And call (to your aid)

That whose knowledge they
Cannot compass, even before
The elucidation ther"
