ثُمَّ أَغرَقنا بَعدُ الباقينَ

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَت عادٌ المُرسَلينَ

'Aad denied the messengers

إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم هودٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَتَبنونَ بِكُلِّ ريعٍ آيَةً تَعبَثونَ

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

وَتَتَّخِذونَ مَصانِعَ لَعَلَّكُم تَخلُدونَ

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

وَإِذا بَطَشتُم بَطَشتُم جَبّارينَ

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.
