وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ
53. And the overturned towns He hurled down
فَغَشَّاهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
54. And covered them by that which He covered.
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٌ مِنَ النُّذُرِ الْأُولَىٰ
56. This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners.
وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ
2. And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْبَاءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
4. And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -
حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ
5. Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].
۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ
9. The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ
10. So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."
فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَاءٍ مُنْهَمِرٍ
11. Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاءُ عَلَىٰ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
12. And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.
