رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهۡلِي مِمَّا يَعۡمَلُونَ

Rabbi najjinee waahlee mimma yaAAmaloona

"O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!"

فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Fanajjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

So We delivered him and his family,- all

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena

Except an old woman who lingered behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Thumma dammarna alakhareena

But the rest We destroyed utterly.
