فَكَيفَ كانَ عَذابي وَنُذُرِ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

إِنّا أَرسَلنا عَلَيهِم صَيحَةً واحِدَةً فَكانوا كَهَشيمِ المُحتَظِرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

وَلَقَد يَسَّرنَا القُرآنَ لِلذِّكرِ فَهَل مِن مُدَّكِرٍ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

كَذَّبَت قَومُ لوطٍ بِالنُّذُرِ

The people of Lot denied the warning.

إِنّا أَرسَلنا عَلَيهِم حاصِبًا إِلّا آلَ لوطٍ ۖ نَجَّيناهُم بِسَحَرٍ

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

وَلَقَد أَنذَرَهُم بَطشَتَنا فَتَمارَوا بِالنُّذُرِ

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.

وَلَقَد راوَدوهُ عَن ضَيفِهِ فَطَمَسنا أَعيُنَهُم فَذوقوا عَذابي وَنُذُرِ

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."

وَلَقَد صَبَّحَهُم بُكرَةً عَذابٌ مُستَقِرٌّ

And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.

فَذوقوا عَذابي وَنُذُرِ

So taste My punishment and warning.

وَلَقَد يَسَّرنَا القُرآنَ لِلذِّكرِ فَهَل مِن مُدَّكِرٍ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
