وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ
Fear God, and do not shame me.’
قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ نَنۡهَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
They answered, ‘Have we not told you not to interfere [between us and] anyone else?’
قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِيٓ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ
He said, ‘My daughters are here, if you must.’
لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ
By your life [Prophet], they wandered on in their wild intoxication
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ
and the blast overtook them at sunrise:
فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
We turned their city upside down and rained on them a shower of clay stones.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
There truly is a sign in this for those who can learn-
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٖ مُّقِيمٍ
it is still there on the highway-
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
there truly is a sign in this for those who believe.
