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

كَذٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَورَثناها قَومًا آخَرينَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

فَما بَكَت عَلَيهِمُ السَّماءُ وَالأَرضُ وَما كانوا مُنظَرينَ

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَد نَجَّينا بَني إِسرائيلَ مِنَ العَذابِ المُهينِ

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

مِن فِرعَونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عالِيًا مِنَ المُسرِفينَ

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ اختَرناهُم عَلىٰ عِلمٍ عَلَى العالَمينَ

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
