يَومَ نَبطِشُ البَطشَةَ الكُبرىٰ إِنّا مُنتَقِمونَ

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

وَلَقَد فَتَنّا قَبلَهُم قَومَ فِرعَونَ وَجاءَهُم رَسولٌ كَريمٌ

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,

أَن أَدّوا إِلَيَّ عِبادَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنّي لَكُم رَسولٌ أَمينٌ

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

وَأَن لا تَعلوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنّي آتيكُم بِسُلطانٍ مُبينٍ

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.

وَإِنّي عُذتُ بِرَبّي وَرَبِّكُم أَن تَرجُمونِ

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

فَدَعا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ قَومٌ مُجرِمونَ

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

فَأَسرِ بِعِبادي لَيلًا إِنَّكُم مُتَّبَعونَ

[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

وَاترُكِ البَحرَ رَهوًا ۖ إِنَّهُم جُندٌ مُغرَقونَ

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

كَم تَرَكوا مِن جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُروعٍ وَمَقامٍ كَريمٍ

And crops and noble sites
