وَبِاللَّيلِ ۗ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ
And at night. Will you not then reflect?
وَإِنَّ يونُسَ لَمِنَ المُرسَلينَ
Jonah was also among the messengers.
إِذ أَبَقَ إِلَى الفُلكِ المَشحونِ
When he fled onto the laden ship.
فَساهَمَ فَكانَ مِنَ المُدحَضينَ
He gambled and lost.
فَالتَقَمَهُ الحوتُ وَهُوَ مُليمٌ
A whale swallowed him, and he was to blame.
فَلَولا أَنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ المُسَبِّحينَ
Had he not been of those who praised.
لَلَبِثَ في بَطنِهِ إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ
He would’ve remained in its belly until the Day they’re raised.
فَنَبَذناهُ بِالعَراءِ وَهُوَ سَقيمٌ
Then We threw him into the open, and he was ill and weak.
وَأَنبَتنا عَلَيهِ شَجَرَةً مِن يَقطينٍ
And We made a gourd plant grow over him.
وَأَرسَلناهُ إِلىٰ مِائَةِ أَلفٍ أَو يَزيدونَ
Then, We sent him to a hundred thousand or more.
فَآمَنوا فَمَتَّعناهُم إِلىٰ حينٍ
They believed, so We gave them enjoyment for some time.
