وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ And you (would) think them أَيْقَاظًۭا awake وَهُمْ while they رُقُودٌۭ ۚ (were) asleep وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ And We turned them ذَاتَ to ٱلْيَمِينِ the right وَذَاتَ and to ٱلشِّمَالِ ۖ the left وَكَلْبُهُم while their dog بَـٰسِطٌۭ stretched ذِرَاعَيْهِ his two forelegs بِٱلْوَصِيدِ ۚ at the entrance لَوِ If ٱطَّلَعْتَ you had looked عَلَيْهِمْ at them لَوَلَّيْتَ you (would) have surely turned back مِنْهُمْ from them فِرَارًۭا (in) flight وَلَمُلِئْتَ and surely you would have been filled مِنْهُمْ by them رُعْبًۭا (with) terror ١٨

And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
