ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَن لَّا يَسْـَٔلُكُمْ أَجْرًا وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ

иттəби'уу мəль-лəə йəс`əлюкум əджрōу-вəhум-муhтəдуун

Follow them who do not ask you any reward and they are rightly guided.

وَمَا لِىَ لَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

вəмəə лийə лəə ə'будуль-лəз̃ии фəтōрōнии вə`илəйhи турджə'уун

Why should I not worship Him who has originated me, and to whom you shall be brought back?

ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ

Shall I take gods besides Him? If the All-beneficent desired to cause me any distress, their intercession will not avail me in any way, nor will they rescue me.

إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

иннии из̃əль-лəфии дōлəəлимм-мубиин

Indeed, then I would be in manifest error.

إِنِّىٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَٱسْمَعُونِ

иннии əəмəŋŋту бирōббикум фəəсмə'уун

Indeed I have faith in your Lord, so listen to me.’

قِيلَ ٱدْخُلِ ٱلْجَنَّةَ  ۖ قَالَ يَٰلَيْتَ قَوْمِى يَعْلَمُونَ

ќиилə-дхулиль-джəннəh, ќōōлə йəə лэйтə ќōумии йə'лəмуун

He was told, ‘Enter paradise!’ He said, ‘Alas! Had my people only known

بِمَا غَفَرَ لِى رَبِّى وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ

бимəə ґōфəрō лии рōббии вəджə'əлəнии минəль-мукрōмиин

for what my Lord forgave me and made me one of the honoured ones!’

 ۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ

After him We did not send down on his people a host from the sky, nor We would have sent down.

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ خَٰمِدُونَ

It was but a single Cry, and, behold, they were stilled [like burnt ashes]!

يَٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ  ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

йəə həсрōтəн 'əлəəль-'ибəəд, мəə йə`тииhим-мир-рōсуулин ильлəə кəəнуу биhи йəстəhзи`уун

How regrettable of the servants! There did not come to them any apostle but that they used to deride him.
