يُرسِلِ السَّماءَ عَلَيكُم مِدرارًا

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

وَيُمدِدكُم بِأَموالٍ وَبَنينَ وَيَجعَل لَكُم جَنّاتٍ وَيَجعَل لَكُم أَنهارًا

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

ما لَكُم لا تَرجونَ لِلَّهِ وَقارًا

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

وَقَد خَلَقَكُم أَطوارًا

While He has created you in stages?

أَلَم تَرَوا كَيفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبعَ سَماواتٍ طِباقًا

Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers

وَاللَّهُ أَنبَتَكُم مِنَ الأَرضِ نَباتًا

And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

ثُمَّ يُعيدُكُم فيها وَيُخرِجُكُم إِخراجًا

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ بِساطًا

And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

لِتَسلُكوا مِنها سُبُلًا فِجاجًا

That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "

قالَ نوحٌ رَبِّ إِنَّهُم عَصَوني وَاتَّبَعوا مَن لَم يَزِدهُ مالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلّا خَسارًا

Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.
