Qala haolai banatee in kuntum faAAileena

He said: "There are my daughters (to marry), if ye must act (so)."

لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ

Laaaamruka innahum lafee sakratihim yaaamahoona

Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they wander in distraction, to and fro.

فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ

Faakhathathumu alssayhatu mushriqeena

But the (mighty) Blast overtook them before morning,

فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

FajaAAalna AAaliyaha safilaha waamtarna AAalayhim hijaratan min sijjeelin

And We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatin lilmutawassimeena

Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.
