﴿ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ ﴾

“Behold how they have lied to themselves -and [how] their false imagery has forsaken them!”

See how they lie to their souls, by falsely ascribing existence and attributes to these [souls], and how that which they were forging has failed them!, such that they do not find it to be anything, rather they found it to be nothing except the forgery [itself]; or [it means] that they lied to their own souls by denying their idolatrous association, despite the firm-rootedness of that tendency in them.
