17:81

وَقُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا

waqul jāa l-ḥaqu wazahaqa l-bāṭilu inna l-bāṭila kāna zahūqan

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."

— Saheeh International

And say, ‘The truth has come, and falsehood has passed away: falsehood is bound to pass away.’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And say: "Truth (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism or this Qur’ân or Jihâd against polytheists) has come and Bâtil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism) has vanished. Surely Bâtil is ever bound to vanish."

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
