But nay

I swear

by (the) Lord

(of) the risings

and the settings

that We

(are) surely Able

[On]

to

[We] replace

(with) better

than them

and not

We

(are) to be outrun

So leave them

(to) converse vainly

and amuse themselves

until

they meet

their Day

which

they are promised

(The) Day

they will come out

from

the graves

rapidly

as if they (were)

to

a goal

hastening

Humbled

their eyesights

will cover them

humiliation

That

(is) the Day

which

they were

promised

Indeed, We

[We] sent

Nuh

to

his people

that

Warn

your people

from

before

[that]

comes to them

a punishment

painful

He said

O my people

Indeed, I am

to you

a warner

clear

That

Worship

Allah

and fear Him

and obey me

He will forgive

for you

[of]

your sins

and give you respite

for

a term

specified

Indeed

(the) term

(of) Allah

when

it comes

not

is delayed

if

you

know

He said

My Lord

Indeed, I

invited

my people

night

and day

But not

increased them

my invitation

except

(in) flight

And indeed, I

every time

I invited them

that You may forgive

them

they put

their fingers

in

their ears

and covered themselves

(with) their garments

and persisted

and were arrogant

(with) pride

Then

indeed, I

invited them

publicly

Then

indeed, I

announced

to them

and I confided

to them

secretly

Then I said

Ask forgiveness

(from) your Lord

Indeed, He

is

Oft-Forgiving
