Qul yaa-ai yuhal kaafiroon

لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٢﴾

Laa a'budu ma t'abudoon

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ ﴿٣﴾

Wa laa antum 'aabidoona maa a'bud

3 Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.

وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٌۭ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ ﴿٤﴾

Wa laa ana 'abidum maa 'abattum

4 Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ ﴿٥﴾

Wa laa antum 'aabidoona ma a'bud

5 Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.

لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ ﴿٦﴾

Lakum deenukum wa liya deen.

6 For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
