   اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖٓ اَنْ اَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

   Innaa arsalnaa nuuhan ila qaumihi an andzir qaumaka min qabli an ya'tiyahum 'adzaabun aliimun

   We sent Noah to his people (and directed him): “Warn your people before a grievous chastisement comes upon them.”

2. 71:2

   قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ

   Anii'buduullaha waattaquuhu wa-athii'uun(i)

   that you serve Allah and fear Him, and follow me;

4. 71:4

   يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ اِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ اِذَا جَاۤءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُۘ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

   Yaghfir lakum min dzunuubikum wayu'akh-khirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajalallahi idzaa jaa-a laa yu'akh-kharu lau kuntum ta'lamuun(a)

   He will forgive your sins and will grant you respite until an appointed term. Indeed when Allah's appointed term comes, it cannot be deferred; if you only knew!”

5. 71:5

   قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِيْ لَيْلًا وَّنَهَارًاۙ

   Qaala rabbi innii da'autu qaumii lailaa wanahaaran

   He said: “My Lord, I called my people by night and by day,

6. 71:6

   فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَاۤءِيْٓ اِلَّا فِرَارًا

   Falam yazidhum du'aa-ii ilaa firaaran

   but the more I called, the farther they fled.

7. 71:7

   وَاِنِّيْ كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوْٓا اَصَابِعَهُمْ فِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَاَصَرُّوْا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًاۚ

   Wa-innii kullamaa da'autuhum litaghfira lahum ja'aluu ashaabi'ahum fii aadzaanihim waastaghsyau tsiyaabahum wa-asharruu waastakbaruuus-tikbaaran

   And every time I called them so that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears and wrapped up their faces with their garments and obstinately clung to their attitude, and waxed very proud.

8. 71:8

   ثُمَّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًاۙ

   Tsumma innii da'autuhum jihaaran

   Then I summoned them openly,

9. 71:9

   ثُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَاَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ اِسْرَارًاۙ

   Tsumma innii a'lantu lahum wa-asrartu lahum israaran

   and preached to them in public, and also addressed them in secret.

10. 71:10

    فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفَّارًاۙ

    Faqultuustaghfiruu rabbakum innahu kaana ghaffaaran

    I said to them: “Ask forgiveness from your Lord; surely He is Most Forgiving.

11. 71:11

    يُّرْسِلِ السَّمَاۤءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًاۙ

    Yursilissamaa-a 'alaikum midraaran

    He will shower upon you torrents from heaven,

12. 71:12

    وَّيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ اَنْهٰرًاۗ

    Wayumdidkum biamwaalin wabaniina wayaj'al lakum jannaatin wayaj'al lakum anhaaran

    and will provide you with wealth and children, and will bestow upon you gardens and rivers.

13. 71:13

    مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ وَقَارًاۚ

    Maa lakum laa tarjuuna lillahi waqaaran

    What is amiss with you that you do not look forward to the majesty of Allah

14. 71:14

    وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ اَطْوَارًا

    Waqad khalaqakum athwaaran

    when He has created you in stages?

15. 71:15

    اَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًاۙ

    Alam tarau kaifa khalaqallahu sab'a samaawaatin thibaaqan

    Do you not see how Allah has created seven heavens, one upon the other,

16. 71:16

    وَّجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيْهِنَّ نُوْرًا وَّجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا

    Waja'alal qamara fiihinna nuuran waja'alasy-syamsa siraajan

    and has placed the moon in them as a light, and the sun as a radiant lamp?

17. 71:17

    وَاللّٰهُ اَنْۢبَتَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ نَبَاتًاۙ

    Wallahu anbatakum minal ardhi nabaatan

    And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth so wondrously,

18. 71:18

    ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُكُمْ فِيْهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ اِخْرَاجًا

    Tsumma yu'iidukum fiihaa wayukhrijukum ikhraajan

    and He will later cause you to return to it and will then again bring you out of it.

19. 71:19

    وَاللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ بِسَاطًاۙ

    Wallahu ja'ala lakumul ardha bisaathan

    Allah has made the earth a wide expanse for you

20. 71:20

    لِّتَسْلُكُوْا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا ࣖ

    Litaslukuu minhaa subulaa fijaajan

    so that you may tread its spacious paths.”

21. 71:21

    قَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ اِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِيْ وَاتَّبَعُوْا مَنْ لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهٗ وَوَلَدُهٗٓ اِلَّا خَسَارًاۚ

    Qaala nuuhun rabbi innahum 'ashaunii waattaba'uu man lam yazidhu maaluhu wawaladuhu ilaa khasaaran

    Noah said: “My Lord, they did not pay heed to what I said, and followed those (nobles) whose possession of wealth and children has led them to an even greater loss.

22. 71:22

    وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًاۚ

    Wamakaruu makran kubbaaran

    They contrived a plot of great magnitude.

23. 71:23

    وَقَالُوْا لَا تَذَرُنَّ اٰلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَّلَا سُوَاعًا ەۙ وَّلَا يَغُوْثَ وَيَعُوْقَ وَنَسْرًاۚ

    Waqaaluuu laa tadzarunna aalihatakum walaa tadzarunna waddan walaa suwaa'an walaa yaghuutsa waya'uuqa wanasran

    They said: “Do not abandon your deities; do not abandon Wadd, nor Suwa, nor Yaghuth, nor Yauq, nor Nasr.

24. 71:24

    وَقَدْ اَضَلُّوْا كَثِيْرًا ەۚ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا ضَلٰلًا

    Waqad adhalluu katsiiran walaa tazidizh-zhaalimiina ilaa dhalaalan

    They have misled many. So do not enable these evildoers to increase in anything except straying (from the Right Way).”

25. 71:25

    مِمَّا خَطِيْۤـٰٔتِهِمْ اُغْرِقُوْا فَاُدْخِلُوْا نَارًا ەۙ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَنْصَارًا

    Mimmaa khathii-aatihim ughriquu fa-udkhiluu naaran falam yajiduu lahum min duunillahi anshaaran

    And so they were drowned on account of their sins, and then cast into the Fire, and did not find any other than Allah, to come forth to their help.

26. 71:26

    وَقَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ دَيَّارًا

    Waqaala nuuhun rabbi laa tadzar 'alal ardhi minal kaafiriina dai-yaaran

    Noah said: “My Lord, do not leave out of these unbelievers even a single dweller on earth,

27. 71:27

    اِنَّكَ اِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوْا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوْٓا اِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا

    Innaka in tadzarhum yudhilluu 'ibaadaka walaa yaliduu ilaa faajiran kaffaaran

    for certainly if You should leave them (alive), they will mislead Your servants, and will beget none but sinners and utter unbelievers.

28. 71:28

    رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَنْ دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَّلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِۗ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا تَبَارًا ࣖ

    Rabbiighfir lii waliwaalidai-ya waliman dakhala baitiya mu'minan walilmu'miniina wal mu'minaati walaa tazidizh-zhaalimiina ilaa tabaaran

    My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and whoever enters my house as a believer, and forgive all believers, both men and women, and do not increase the wrong-doers in anything except perdition.”
