رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ ﴿٢﴾

Rubama yawaddu allatheena kafaroo law kanoo muslimeena

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims

15:3

ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿٣﴾

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know

15:4

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree

15:5

مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ ﴿٥﴾

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter

15:6

وَقَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُونٞ ﴿٦﴾

Waqaloo ya ayyuha allathee nuzzila ʿalayhi alththikru innaka lamajnoonun

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad

15:7

لَّوۡمَا تَأۡتِينَا بِٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٧﴾

Law ma tateena bialmalaikati in kunta mina alssadiqeena

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ﴿١١﴾

Wama yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him

Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobi almujrimeena

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals

Walaw fatahna ʿalayhim baban mina alssamai fathalloo feehi yaʿrujoona

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend

لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٞ مَّسۡحُورُونَ ﴿١٥﴾

وَحَفِظۡنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٍ ﴿١٧﴾

Wahafithnaha min kulli shaytanin rajeemin

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah]

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ مُّبِينٞ ﴿١٨﴾

Illa mani istaraqa alssamʿa faatbaʿahu shihabun mubeenun

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame

Wain min shayin illa ʿindana khazainuhu wama nunazziluhu illa biqadarin maʿloomin

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Waarsalna alrriyaha lawaqiha faanzalna mina alssamai maan faasqaynakumoohu wama antum lahu bikhazineena

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers

Faintaqamna minhum wainnahuma labiimamin mubeenin

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway
