وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Alam nuhliki alawwaleena

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Thumma nutbiAAuhumu alakhireena

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

Thus do We deal with men of sin.
