كِتابٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيكَ فَلا يَكُن في صَدرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِنهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِ وَذِكرىٰ لِلمُؤمِنينَ

[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.

اتَّبِعوا ما أُنزِلَ إِلَيكُم مِن رَبِّكُم وَلا تَتَّبِعوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ ۗ قَليلًا ما تَذَكَّرونَ

Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.

وَكَم مِن قَريَةٍ أَهلَكناها فَجاءَها بَأسُنا بَياتًا أَو هُم قائِلونَ

And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.

فَما كانَ دَعواهُم إِذ جاءَهُم بَأسُنا إِلّا أَن قالوا إِنّا كُنّا ظالِمينَ

And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"

فَلَنَسأَلَنَّ الَّذينَ أُرسِلَ إِلَيهِم وَلَنَسأَلَنَّ المُرسَلينَ

Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.
