۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ مِن جُندٖ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ

Wama anzalna AAala qawmihi min baAAdihi min jundin mina alssamai wama kunna munzileena

And We sent not down against his People, after him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do.

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَإِذَا هُمۡ خَٰمِدُونَ

In kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan faitha hum khamidoona

It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.

يَٰحَسۡرَةً عَلَى ٱلۡعِبَادِۚ مَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

Ya hasratan AAala alAAibadi ma yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

Ah! Alas for (My) Servants! There comes not a messenger to them but they mock him!
