وَجَآءَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ

And the people of the city came rejoicing.


قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيۡفِي فَلَا تَفۡضَحُونِ

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.


وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."


قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ نَنۡهَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"


قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِيٓ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."


لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.


فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.


فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.
