وَثَمودَ فَما أَبقىٰ

And Thamud - and He did not spare [them] -

وَقَومَ نوحٍ مِن قَبلُ ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا هُم أَظلَمَ وَأَطغىٰ

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing.

وَالمُؤتَفِكَةَ أَهوىٰ

And the overturned towns He hurled down

فَغَشّاها ما غَشّىٰ

And covered them by that which He covered.

فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمارىٰ

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?

أَزِفَتِ الآزِفَةُ

The Approaching Day has approached.

لَيسَ لَها مِن دونِ اللَّهِ كاشِفَةٌ

Of it, [from those] besides Allah, there is no remover.

أَفَمِن هـٰذَا الحَديثِ تَعجَبونَ

Then at this statement do you wonder?

وَتَضحَكونَ وَلا تَبكونَ

And you laugh and do not weep

وَأَنتُم سامِدونَ

While you are proudly sporting?
