(1)إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَنۡ أَنذِرۡ قَوۡمَكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۬
Lo! We sent Noah unto his people saying: Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them.
(2) قَالَ يَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّى لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ
He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you
(3) أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Bidding you: Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me,
(4) يَغۡفِرۡ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمۡ وَيُؤَخِّرۡكُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ۬ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُۖ لَوۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew.
(5) قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوۡتُ قَوۡمِى لَيۡلاً۬ وَنَهَارً۬ا
He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day
(6) فَلَمۡ يَزِدۡهُمۡ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارً۬ا
But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance;
(7) وَإِنِّى ڪُلَّمَا دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ لِتَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ جَعَلُوٓاْ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمۡ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِہِمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡشَوۡاْ ثِيَابَہُمۡ وَأَصَرُّواْ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ ٱسۡتِكۡبَارً۬ا
And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist in their refusal and magnify themselves in pride.
(8) ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوۡتُہُمۡ جِهَارً۬ا
And lo! I have called unto them aloud,
(9) ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعۡلَنتُ لَهُمۡ وَأَسۡرَرۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِسۡرَارً۬ا
And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them, and I have appealed to them in private.
(10) فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ غَفَّارً۬ا
And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.
(11) يُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّدۡرَارً۬ا
He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain,
(12) وَيُمۡدِدۡكُم بِأَمۡوَٲلٍ۬ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ أَنۡہَـٰرً۬ا
And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.
(13) مَّا لَكُمۡ لَا تَرۡجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارً۬ا
What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity
(14) وَقَدۡ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَطۡوَارًا
When He created you by divers stages?
(15) أَلَمۡ تَرَوۡاْ كَيۡفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبۡعَ سَمَـٰوَٲتٍ۬ طِبَاقً۬ا
See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony,
(16) وَجَعَلَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ فِيہِنَّ نُورً۬ا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجً۬ا
And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?
(17) وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ نَبَاتً۬ا
And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth,
(18) ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمۡ فِيہَا وَيُخۡرِجُڪُمۡ إِخۡرَاجً۬ا
And afterward He maketh you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a new forthbringing.
(19) وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِسَاطً۬ا
And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you
(20) لِّتَسۡلُكُواْ مِنۡہَا سُبُلاً۬ فِجَاجً۬ا
That ye may thread the valley-ways thereof.
(21) قَالَ نُوحٌ۬ رَّبِّ إِنَّہُمۡ عَصَوۡنِى وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَن لَّمۡ يَزِدۡهُ مَالُهُ ۥ وَوَلَدُهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا خَسَارً۬ا
Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;
(22) وَمَكَرُواْ مَكۡرً۬ا ڪُبَّارً۬ا
And they have plotted a mighty plot,
(23) وَقَالُواْ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّ۬ا وَلَا سُوَاعً۬ا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسۡرً۬ا
And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
(24) وَقَدۡ أَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرً۬اۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَـٰلاً۬
And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error.
(25) مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٔـٰتِہِمۡ أُغۡرِقُواْ فَأُدۡخِلُواْ نَارً۬ا فَلَمۡ يَجِدُواْ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارً۬ا
Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.
(26) وَقَالَ نُوحٌ۬ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرۡ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land.
(27) إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرۡهُمۡ يُضِلُّواْ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓاْ إِلَّا فَاجِرً۬ا ڪَفَّارً۬ا
If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates.
(28) رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِى وَلِوَٲلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيۡتِىَ مُؤۡمِنً۬ا وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارَۢا
My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin.
