قَالَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ

Qaala haaa'ulaaa'i banaateee in kuntum faa'ileen

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."

لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

La'amruka innahum lafee sakratihim ya'mahoon

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ

Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

Faja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtamaa 'alaihim hijaaratam min sjijjeel

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil lilmutawassimeen

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ

Wa innahaa labi sabeelim muqeem

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lilmu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ

Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers.

فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ

Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers.

وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

Wa aatainaahum Aayaatinaa fakaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ

Wa kaanoo yanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan aamineen

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ

Fa akhazat humus saihatu musbiheen

But the shriek seized them at early morning.

فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Famaaa aghnaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yaksiboon

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ

Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaaa illaa bilhaqq; wa innas Saa'ata la aatiyatun fasfahis safhal jameel

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ

Inna Rabbaka Huwal khallaaqul 'aleem

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ

Wa laqad aatainaaka sab'am mnal masaanee wal Qur-aanal 'azeem

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa maa matta 'naa biheee azwaajam minhum wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wakhfid janaahaka lilmu 'mineen

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers

وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ

Wa qul inneee anan nazeerul mubeen

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -

كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

Kamaaa anzalnaa 'alal muqtasimeen

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators
