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.

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرٗاۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena

We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Kaththaba ashabu alaykati almursaleena

The Companions of the Wood rejected the messengers.
