"Nay," they say, "(these are) medleys of dream! - Nay, He forged it! - Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (Prophets) of old!"

Or do they say:- "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

但他们说：“这是痴人说梦呢？还是他捏造谎言呢？还是他是一个诗人呢？ 教他象古代的众使者那样昭示我们一种迹象吧。”

不然，他们说：“他是一个诗人，我们等待他遭逢厄运。”
