     إِذْ جَاؤُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتْ الأَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتْ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِاللّٰهِ الظُّنُونَا

     ʔiḏ jāʔūkum min fawqikum wa-min ʔasfala minkum wa-ʔiḏ zāḡat al-ʔabṣāru wa-balaḡat al-qulūbu al-ḥanājira wa-taẓunnūna bi-l-lāhi ẓ-ẓunūnā
