وَقَومَ نوحٍ مِن قَبلُ ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا هُم أَظلَمَ وَأَطغىٰ

And the people of Noah before—they were even more unjust and transgressive.

وَالمُؤتَفِكَةَ أَهوىٰ

And collapsed the ‘Overturned City’.

فَغَشّاها ما غَشّىٰ

Then He covered it with what He covered.

فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمارىٰ

So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

هـٰذا نَذيرٌ مِنَ النُّذُرِ الأولىٰ

This is a warning, just like the previous ones.

لَيسَ لَها مِن دونِ اللَّهِ كاشِفَةٌ

None other than God can reveal it.

أَفَمِن هـٰذَا الحَديثِ تَعجَبونَ

Are you amazed by this discourse?

وَتَضحَكونَ وَلا تَبكونَ

And do you laugh and not weep?

وَأَنتُم سامِدونَ

And you remain proudly indifferent?

فَاسجُدوا لِلَّهِ وَاعبُدوا ۩

So bow down before God, and worship!
