وَجَآءَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ
And there came the men of the city, rejoicing.
قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيۡفِي فَلَا تَفۡضَحُونِ
Lot pleaded, “Indeed, these are my guests, so do not embarrass me.
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ
Fear Allah and do not humiliate me.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ نَنۡهَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
They responded, “Have we not forbidden you from protecting anyone?”
قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِيٓ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ
He said, “O my people! Here are my daughters1 ˹so marry them˺ if you wish to do so.”
لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ
By your life ˹O Prophet˺,1 they certainly wandered blindly, intoxicated ˹by lust˺.
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ
So the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook them at sunrise.
فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
And We turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down and rained upon them stones of baked clay.
