Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen
And he drew lots and was among the losers.
Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,
Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.
Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
