And not

We sent down

upon

his people

after him

after him

any

host

from

the heaven

and not

were We

(to) send down

Not

it was

but

a shout

one

then behold

They

(were) extinguished

Alas

for

the servants

Not

came to them

any

Messenger

but

they did

mock at him

mock at him

Do not

they see

how many

We destroyed

before them

of

the generations

That they

to them

will not return

will not return

And surely

all

then

together

before Us

(will be) brought

And a Sign

for them

(is) the earth

dead

We give it life

and We bring forth

from it

grain

and from it

they eat

And We placed

therein

gardens

of

date-palms

and grapevines

and We caused to gush forth

in it

of

the springs

That they may eat

of

its fruit

And not

made it

their hands

So will not

they be grateful

Glory be

(to) the One Who

created

(in) pairs

all

of what

grows

the earth

and of

themselves

and of what

not

they know

And a Sign

for them

(is) the night

We withdraw

from it

the day

Then behold

They

(are) those in darkness

And the sun

runs

to a term appointed

for it

That

(is the) Decree

(of) the All-Mighty

the All-Knowing

And the moon

We have ordained for it

phases

until

it returns

like the date stalk

the old

Not

the sun

is permitted

for it

that

it overtakes

the moon

and not

the night

(can) outstrip

the day

but all

in

an orbit

they are floating
