Qaala haaa'ulaaa'i banaateee in kuntum faa'ileen
[Lot] said, "These are my daughters – if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."
La'amruka innahum lafee sakratihim ya'mahoon
By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.
Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen
So the shriek seized them at sunrise.
Faja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtamaa 'alaihim hijaaratam min sjijjeel
And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil lilmutawassimeen
Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.
Wa innahaa labi sabeelim muqeem
And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.
Inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lilmu'mineen
Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen
And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,
Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen
So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.
Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen
And certainly did the companions of al-Hijr [i.e., the Thamud] deny the messengers.
