      وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ ٱلظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًا وَوَجَدَ ٱللّٰهَ عِنْدَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ حِسَابَهُ ۗ وَٱللّٰهُ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ
      wa-llaḏīna kafarū ʔaʕmāluhum kasarābin bi-qīʕatin yaḥsabuhu ẓ-ẓamʔānu māʔan ḥattā ʔiḏā jāʔahū lam yajidhu šayʔan wa-wajada llāha ʕindahū fa-waffāhu ḥisābahū wa-llāhu sarīʕu l-ḥisābi
      But those who disbelieved: their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds God before Him, and He will pay him in full his due; and God is swift in account.
