مُّهۡطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ يَقُولُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٞ

MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun

Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.

۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجۡنُونٞ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ

Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira

Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ

FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir

Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"

فَفَتَحۡنَآ أَبۡوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٖ مُّنۡهَمِرٖ

Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin

So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.

وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ

Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira

And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.

وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَٰحٖ وَدُسُرٖ

Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:

تَجۡرِي بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءٗ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ

Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira

She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ

Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ

Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
