Arabic

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَنْ يَّخْلُقُوْا ذُبَابًا وَّلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوْا لَهٗ ۗوَاِنْ يَّسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْـًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنْقِذُوْهُ مِنْهُۗ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوْبُ ۝٧٣

Transliteration

Yā ayyuhan-nāsu ḍuriba maṡalum fastami‘ū lah, innal-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnillāhi lay yakhluqū żubābaw wa lawijtama‘ū lah, wa iy yaslubhumuż-żubābu syai'al lā yastanqiżūhu minh, ḍo‘ufaṭ-ṭōlibu wal-maṭlūb

Meaning

O people! A parable is presented, so listen to it: Those you invoke besides Allah will never create a fly, even if they banded together for that purpose. And if the fly steals anything from them, they cannot recover it from it. Weak are the pursuer and the pursued.
