  اَلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُونِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ وَكُنْتُم عَنْ آيَاتِهِ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
  al-yawma tujzawna ʕaḏāba l-hūni bimā kuntum taqūlūna ʕalā llāhi ḡayra l-ḥaqqi wakuntum ʕan ʔāyātihi tastakbirūna
  Today, you shall have your punishment, a punishment of humiliation, because you have been saying about Allah what is not true, and have been showing arrogance against His verses.
