(நபியே!) நீர் கூறுவீராக "என் இறைவனுடைய வார்த்தை(களை எழுதுவதற்)காக கடல் (முழுவதும்) மையாக ஆகுமானாலும், என் இறைவனுடைய வார்த்தைகள் (எழுதி) முடிப்பதற்குள் கடல் (நீர்) தீர்ந்து விடும்; அதைப் போல் (இன்னொரு கடலையே) நாம் உதவிக்குக் கொண்டு வந்தாலும் சரி!"

මාගේ පරමාධිපතිගේ වදන් (ලිවීමට) තීන්ත බවට මුහුද පත් වුව ද මාගේ පරමාධිපතිගේ වදන් (ලියා) නිමා වීමට පෙර මුහුද සිඳී යනු ඇත. එවන් (මුහුද) හා සමාන දෙයක් අපි අමතරව ගෙන ආව ද (එය ද ප්‍රමාණවත් නො වනු ඇත.) යැයි (නබිවරය!) නුඹ පවසනු.

The Words of Allah would still never run out. As Allah says: وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلاَمٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ (And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink), with seven seas behind it to increase it, yet the Words of Allah would not be exhausted.…
