كَمۡ تَرَكُواْ مِن جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,


وَزُرُوعٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

And the cornlands and the goodly sites


وَنَعۡمَةٖ كَانُواْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ

And pleasant things wherein they took delight!


كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;


فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ

And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.


وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِينِ

And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;


مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.


وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.


وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٞاْ مُّبِينٌ

And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.
