وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ بِساطًا

And God made the earth a spread for you.

لِتَسلُكوا مِنها سُبُلًا فِجاجًا

So you may move along its wide roads.’”

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

Noah said, “My Lord, they defied me, and they followed those whose wealth and children only amplify their loss.”

وَمَكَروا مَكرًا كُبّارًا

They devised a formidable plan.

وَقالوا لا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُم وَلا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلا سُواعًا وَلا يَغوثَ وَيَعوقَ وَنَسرًا

They said, “Never abandon your gods. Never abandon Wadd, nor Suwa, nor Yaghoos, nor Yaooq, nor Nassr.

مِمّا خَطيئَاتِهِم أُغرِقوا فَأُدخِلوا نارًا فَلَم يَجِدوا لَهُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَنصارًا

Because of their sins, they were drowned and entered into fire, finding no allies to defend them against God.

وَقالَ نوحٌ رَبِّ لا تَذَر عَلَى الأَرضِ مِنَ الكافِرينَ دَيّارًا

Noah prayed, “O my Lord, don’t leave a single disbeliever on earth.

إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرهُم يُضِلّوا عِبادَكَ وَلا يَلِدوا إِلّا فاجِرًا كَفّارًا

If You allow them to remain, they will mislead Your devotees, and they will give birth to nothing but sinful unbelievers.

رَبِّ اغفِر لي وَلِوالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيتِيَ مُؤمِنًا وَلِلمُؤمِنينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ وَلا تَزِدِ الظّالِمينَ إِلّا تَبارًا

My Lord, forgive me, my parents, and whoever enters my home as a believer, and all believing men and women, but increase the wrongdoers in nothing but ruin.”
