فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ

Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَكَانُواْ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ

Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatan wahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri

For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ

Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

And We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطِۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri

The people of Lut rejected (his) warning.

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٖۖ نَّجَّيۡنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٖ

Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin

We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut´s household: them We delivered by early Dawn,-

نِّعۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَن شَكَرَ

NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara

As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
