Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen
And We had already sent among them warners.
Fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul munzareen
Then look how was the end of those who were warned –
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
Wa laqad naadaanaa Noohun falani'mal mujeeboon
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.
Wa jajainaahu wa ahlahoo minal karbil 'azeem
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.
Wa ja'alnaa zurriyyatahoo hummul baaqeen
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
Salaamun 'alaa Noohin fil 'aalameen
"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."
Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
