وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ
Wam a huwa biqawli sh a AAirin qaleelan m a tuminoon a
and is not - however little you may [be prepared to] believe it - the word of a poet;

is it not the word of a poet - little is it that you believe,

  - Mustafa Khattab
It is not poet's speech--little is it that ye believe!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe! 5667
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
