أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا نَّخِرَةٗ
even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”
قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذٗا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٞ
Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ
But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
and at once they will be above ground.
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.
فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself,
وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ
and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”
