إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم لوطٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ
When their brother Lot exhorted them, “Won’t you behave righteously?
إِنّي لَكُم رَسولٌ أَمينٌ
I am a credible messenger to you.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
So fear God, and obey me.
وَما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العالَمينَ
I ask no reward from you; my reward is only from the Lord of the realms.
أَتَأتونَ الذُّكرانَ مِنَ العالَمينَ
Do you approach the males of the world?
وَتَذَرونَ ما خَلَقَ لَكُم رَبُّكُم مِن أَزواجِكُم ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ عادونَ
And abandon the wives that your Lord created for you? But you are a transgressing people.”
قالوا لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ يا لوطُ لَتَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُخرَجينَ
They replied, “If you don’t stop, O Lot, you will be among those expelled.”
قالَ إِنّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِنَ القالينَ
He responded, “I am of those who disapprove of your conduct.”
رَبِّ نَجِّني وَأَهلي مِمّا يَعمَلونَ
“My Lord, save me and my family from their actions.”
فَنَجَّيناهُ وَأَهلَهُ أَجمَعينَ
And so, We rescued him and his entire family.
إِلّا عَجوزًا فِي الغابِرينَ
Except an elderly woman among those who stayed behind.
