لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـٰذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٦٨
We were promised this, forsooth, we and our fathers. (All) this is naught but fables of the men of old.
We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."
We were told about this and so were our forefathers before us. But these are no more than fairy tales that have been recounted from ancient times."
