إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِلمُتَوَسِّمينَ

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

وَإِنَّها لَبِسَبيلٍ مُقيمٍ

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

إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِلمُؤمِنينَ

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

وَإِن كانَ أَصحابُ الأَيكَةِ لَظالِمينَ

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

فَانتَقَمنا مِنهُم وَإِنَّهُما لَبِإِمامٍ مُبينٍ

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

وَآتَيناهُم آياتِنا فَكانوا عَنها مُعرِضينَ

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

وَكانوا يَنحِتونَ مِنَ الجِبالِ بُيوتًا آمِنينَ

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

فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصَّيحَةُ مُصبِحينَ

But the shriek seized them at early morning.

فَما أَغنىٰ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

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

وَما خَلَقنَا السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما إِلّا بِالحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصفَحِ الصَّفحَ الجَميلَ

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.
