Translation
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَنۡ أَنذِرۡ قَوۡمَكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ
Inna arsalna noohan ila qawmihi an anthir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum AAathabun aleemun
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, “Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment.”
قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّي لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٌ
Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun
He said: “O my people, indeed I am a clear warner to you,
أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni
that you worship Allah and fear Him, and obey me;
يَغۡفِرۡ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمۡ وَيُؤَخِّرۡكُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُۚ لَوۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayuakhkhirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajala Allahi itha jaa la yuakhkharu law kuntum taAAlamoona
He will forgive you some of your sins and grant you respite until an appointed term[1]. Indeed, when Allah’s appointed term comes, it cannot be delayed, if you only knew!”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوۡتُ قَوۡمِي لَيۡلٗا وَنَهَارٗا
Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan
He said, “My Lord, I have surely called my people night and day,
فَلَمۡ يَزِدۡهُمۡ دُعَآءِيٓ إِلَّا فِرَارٗا
Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran
but my call only drove them further away.
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ لِتَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ جَعَلُوٓاْ أَصَٰبِعَهُمۡ فِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡشَوۡاْ ثِيَابَهُمۡ وَأَصَرُّواْ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ ٱسۡتِكۡبَارٗا
Wainnee kullama daAAawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaAAaloo asabiAAahum fee athanihim waistaghshaw thiyabahum waasarroo waistakbaroo istikbaran
Every time I call them so that You may forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears and cover their faces with their garments[2], and persist in obstinacy and grow extremely arrogant.
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ جِهَارٗا
Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan
Then I called them openly,
ثُمَّ إِنِّيٓ أَعۡلَنتُ لَهُمۡ وَأَسۡرَرۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِسۡرَارٗا
Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran
then I addressed them in public and in private,
فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارٗا
Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran
I said, ‘Seek forgiveness from your Lord. Indeed, He is Most Forgiving.
يُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّدۡرَارٗا
Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran
He will shower you with abundant rain from the sky,
وَيُمۡدِدۡكُم بِأَمۡوَٰلٖ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ جَنَّـٰتٖ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ أَنۡهَٰرٗا
Wayumdidkum biamwalin wabaneena wayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anharan
and He will give you wealth and children, and bestow upon you gardens and rivers.
مَّا لَكُمۡ لَا تَرۡجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارٗا
Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran
What is the matter with you that you do not fear the Majesty of Allah[3],
وَقَدۡ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَطۡوَارًا
Waqad khalaqakum atwaran
when He has created you in stages[4]?
أَلَمۡ تَرَوۡاْ كَيۡفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ طِبَاقٗا
Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan
Do you not see how Allah has created seven heavens, one above another,
وَجَعَلَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجٗا
WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAala alshshamsa sirajan
and has placed the moon therein as a light and the sun as a burning lamp?
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ نَبَاتٗا
WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan
Allah has produced you from the earth like a plant[5],
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمۡ فِيهَا وَيُخۡرِجُكُمۡ إِخۡرَاجٗا
Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan
then He will return you into it and then will bring you out again.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِسَاطٗا
WaAllahu jaAAala lakumu alarda bisatan
Allah has made the earth widespread for you
لِّتَسۡلُكُواْ مِنۡهَا سُبُلٗا فِجَاجٗا
Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan
so that you may tread its spacious paths[6].’”
قَالَ نُوحٞ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمۡ عَصَوۡنِي وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَن لَّمۡ يَزِدۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارٗا
Qala noohun rabbi innahum AAasawnee waittabaAAoo man lam yazidhu maluhu wawaladuhu illa khasaran
Noah said, “My Lord, they have disobeyed me and followed those whose wealth and children did not increase them except in loss[7].
وَمَكَرُواْ مَكۡرٗا كُبَّارٗا
Wamakaroo makran kubbaran
They have contrived a mighty plot,
وَقَالُواْ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدّٗا وَلَا سُوَاعٗا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسۡرٗا
Waqaloo la tatharunna alihatakum wala tatharunna waddan wala suwaAAan wala yaghootha wayaAAooqa wanasran
They said, ‘Do not abandon your gods; and do not abandon Wadd, Suwā‘, Yaghūth, Ya‘ūq, and Nasr[8].’
وَقَدۡ أَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرٗاۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلٗا
Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan
They have led many astray. So [O Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error.”
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمۡ أُغۡرِقُواْ فَأُدۡخِلُواْ نَارٗا فَلَمۡ يَجِدُواْ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارٗا
Mimma khateeatihim oghriqoo faodkhiloo naran falam yajidoo lahum min dooni Allahi ansaran
Because of their sins, they were drowned and then were cast into the Fire, and they did not find any helpers against Allah.
وَقَالَ نُوحٞ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرۡ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran
Noah said, “My Lord, do not leave on earth a single disbeliever.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرۡهُمۡ يُضِلُّواْ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓاْ إِلَّا فَاجِرٗا كَفَّارٗا
Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran
For if You leave them, they will surely lead Your slaves astray and beget none but wicked disbelievers.
رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِي وَلِوَٰلِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيۡتِيَ مُؤۡمِنٗا وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارَۢا
Rabbi ighfir lee waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya muminan walilmumineena waalmuminati wala tazidi alththalimeena illa tabaran
My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and whoever enters my house as a believer, and all the believing men and women, and do not increase the wrongdoers except in ruin.”
