وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
13. And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,
تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ
14. Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
وَلَقَدْ تَرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ
15. And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
16. And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
18. 'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

19. Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,
تَنْزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُنْقَعِرٍ

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ
23. Thamud denied the warning
فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرًا مِنَّا وَاحِدًا نَتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ
24. And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.
