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.

أَتَأتونَ الذُّكرانَ مِنَ العالَمينَ

Do you approach males among the worlds

وَتَذَرونَ ما خَلَقَ لَكُم رَبُّكُم مِن أَزواجِكُم ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ عادونَ

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

قالوا لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ يا لوطُ لَتَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُخرَجينَ

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

قالَ إِنّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِنَ القالينَ

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

فَنَجَّيناهُ وَأَهلَهُ أَجمَعينَ

So We saved him and his family, all,

إِلّا عَجوزًا فِي الغابِرينَ

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرنَا الآخَرينَ

Then We destroyed the others.

وَأَمطَرنا عَلَيهِم مَطَرًا ۖ فَساءَ مَطَرُ المُنذَرينَ

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

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