In all things We have created pairs so that you may take admonition

Fafirroo ila Allahi innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun

Fafirrū 'Ilá Allāhi 'Innī Lakum Minhu Nadhīrun Mubīnun

Fatawalla `Anhum Famā 'Anta Bimalūmin

So turn away from them, as you will not be blameworthy

Wathakkir fainna alththikra tanfaAAu almumineena

And admonish, for admonition indeed benefits the faithful

Fa'inna Lilladhīna Žalamū Dhanūbāan Mithla Dhanūbi 'Aşĥābihim Falā Yasta`jilūni
