بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

Say: O unbelievers!

لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

I do not serve that which you serve,

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ

Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve:

وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ

Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ

Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve:

لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ

You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.
