إِن كانَت إِلّا صَيحَةً واحِدَةً فَإِذا هُم خامِدونَ

It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

يا حَسرَةً عَلَى العِبادِ ۚ ما يَأتيهِم مِن رَسولٍ إِلّا كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ

How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

أَلَم يَرَوا كَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِنَ القُرونِ أَنَّهُم إِلَيهِم لا يَرجِعونَ

Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?

وَإِن كُلٌّ لَمّا جَميعٌ لَدَينا مُحضَرونَ

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

وَآيَةٌ لَهُمُ الأَرضُ المَيتَةُ أَحيَيناها وَأَخرَجنا مِنها حَبًّا فَمِنهُ يَأكُلونَ

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

لِيَأكُلوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ وَما عَمِلَتهُ أَيديهِم ۖ أَفَلا يَشكُرونَ

That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?

سُبحانَ الَّذي خَلَقَ الأَزواجَ كُلَّها مِمّا تُنبِتُ الأَرضُ وَمِن أَنفُسِهِم وَمِمّا لا يَعلَمونَ

Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

وَآيَةٌ لَهُمُ اللَّيلُ نَسلَخُ مِنهُ النَّهارَ فَإِذا هُم مُظلِمونَ

And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

وَالشَّمسُ تَجري لِمُستَقَرٍّ لَها ۚ ذٰلِكَ تَقديرُ العَزيزِ العَليمِ

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

وَالقَمَرَ قَدَّرناهُ مَنازِلَ حَتّىٰ عادَ كَالعُرجونِ القَديمِ

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
