23. کَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ
23-THE PEOPLE OF THAMUD TOO BELIED THE WARNINGS.
24.فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرآ مِنَّا وَاحِدآ نَتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذآ لَفِی ضَلاَلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
24-AND THEY SAID:-``SHOULD WE FOLLOW AN INDIVIDUAL MORTAL FROM AMONG OURSELVES? IF SO WE MUST THEN BE IN ERROR AND MADNESS.''
25. أَؤُلْقِىَ الذِّکْرُ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ بَیْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ کَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
25-HAS THE REMINDER BEEN CAST DOWN TO HIM ALONE, FROM AMONG US ALL? HE IS RATHER A FADDISH LIAR!
26. سَیَعْلَمُونَ غَدآ مَنْ الْکَذَّابُ الاَْشِرُ
26-SOON THEY WILL KNOW TOMORROW THAT, WHO IS THE FADDISH LIAR.
27. إِنَّا مُرْسِلُو النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ
27-WE SHALL SEND THE SHE-CAMEL AS A TRIAL FOR THEM. THEN YOU WATCH FOR THEIR END AND WAIT.
28. وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ قِسْمَةٌ بَیْنَهُمْ کُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُحْتَضَرٌ
28-AND TELL THEM THE WATER SHOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN THEM; (THAT, ONE DAY IT IS FOR THEM, AND THE NEXT DAY FOR THE CAMEL) EACH SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THEIR TURN.
29. فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَى فَعَقَرَ
29-THEN THEY CALLED ONE OF THEIR COMPANIONS WHO PROCEEDED, AND HAMSTRUNG HER!
30. فَکَیْفَ کَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ
30-HOW(TERRIBLE) WAS THEN MY WARNING AND PUNISHMENT?
31. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ صَیْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَکَانُوا کَهَشِیمِ الْمُحْتَظِرِ
31-FOR WE SENT UPON THEM A SINGLE CRY, AND THEY BECAME LIKE DRY HAY WHICH THE OWNER OF CATTLE, COLLECTS IN A PEN!
32. وَلَقَدْ یَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّکْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّکِرٍ
32-AND VERILY WE HAVE MADE QURAN EASY FOR REMINDING. IS THERE THEN ANYONE TO PAY HEED?
