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.

وَلَقَد كَذَّبَ أَصحابُ الحِجرِ المُرسَلينَ

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers.

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.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الخَلّاقُ العَليمُ

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.
