26. Shuara · verses 61–66

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona

And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

قَالَ كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni

(Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra fainfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaalttawdi alAAatheemi

Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain.

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Waazlafna thamma alakhareena

And We made the other party approach thither.

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena

We delivered Moses and all who were with him;

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

But We drowned the others.
