كَم تَرَكوا مِن جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُروعٍ وَمَقامٍ كَريمٍ

And crops and noble sites

وَنَعمَةٍ كانوا فيها فاكِهينَ

And comfort wherein they were amused.

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.

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.

وَآتَيناهُم مِنَ الآياتِ ما فيهِ بَلاءٌ مُبينٌ

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ لَيَقولونَ

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِن هِيَ إِلّا مَوتَتُنَا الأولىٰ وَما نَحنُ بِمُنشَرينَ

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
