Surah 16 al-Naḥl (The Bee) 
| Ref | Arabic | Transliteration | Translation |
(16:59)    | يَتَوَٰرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓ أَيُمْسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِى ٱلتُّرَابِ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ | yatawāra mina l‑qawmi min sūi mā bushshira bihi ayumsikuhu ʿalā hūnin am yadussuhu fī l‑turābi āla sāa mā yaḥkumūna | With shame does he hide himself from his people, because of
the bad news he has had! Shall he retain it on (sufferance and) contempt,
or bury it in the dust? Ah! what an evil (choice) they decide on?
