26. Shuara · verses 54–59

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

Inna haolai lashirthimatun qaleeloona

(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

Wainnahum lana laghaithoona

"And they are raging furiously against us;

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

Wainna lajameeAAun hathiroona

"But we are a multitude amply fore-warned."

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

Faakhrajnahum min jannatin waAAuyoonin

So We expelled them from gardens, springs,

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin

Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Kathalika waawrathnaha banee israeela

Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.
