And if

[that]

people

(of) the cities

(had) believed

and feared Allah

surely We (would have) opened

upon them

blessings

from

the heaven

and the earth

but

they denied

So We seized them

for what

they used to

earn

Then did feel secure

(the) people

(of) the cities

that

comes to them

Our punishment

(at) night

while they

(were) asleep

Or felt secure

(the) people

(of) the cities

that

comes to them

Our punishment

(in) daylight

while they

(were) playing

Then did they feel secure

(from the) plan

(of) Allah

But not

feel secure

(from the) plan

(of) Allah

except

the people

(who are) the losers

Would it not

guide

[for] those who

inherit

the land

from

after

its people

that

if

We willed

We (could) afflict them

for their sins

and We put a seal

over

their hearts

so they

(do) not

hear

These

(were) the cities

We relate

to you

of

their news

And certainly

came to them

their Messengers

with clear proofs

but not

they were

to believe

in what

they (had) denied

from

before

Thus

(has been) put a seal

(by) Allah

on

(the) hearts

(of) the disbelievers

And not

We found

for most of them

any

covenant

But

We found

most of them

certainly, defiantly disobedient

Then

We sent

from

after them

Musa

with Our Signs

to

Firaun

and his chiefs

But they were unjust

to them

So see

how

was

(the) end

(of) the corrupters

And said

Musa

O Firaun

Indeed, I am

a Messenger

from

(the) Lord

(of) the worlds
