فَتَنَادَوْاْ مُصْبِحِينَ

фəтəнəəдəу мусбиhиин

At dawn they called out to one another,

أَنِ ٱغْدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰرِمِينَ

əни-ґдуу 'əлəə həрc̃икум иŋŋ-куŋŋтум сōōримиин

‘Get off early to your field if you have to gather [the fruits].’

فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمْ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ

фəəŋŋтōлəќуу вəhум йəтəхōōфəтуун

So off they went, murmuring to one another:

أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌ

əль-лəə йəдхулəннəhəəль-йəумə 'əлэйкум-мискиин

‘Today no needy man shall come to you in it.’

وَغَدَوْاْ عَلَىٰ حَرْدٍ قَٰدِرِينَ

вəґōдəу 'əлəə həрдин ќōōдириин

And they set out at early morning, [considering themselves] able to deprive [the poor of its fruit].

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ

фəлəммəə рō`əуhəə ќōōлюю иннəə лəдōōллююн

But when they saw it, they said, ‘We have indeed lost our way!’

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

бəль нəhну мəhруумуун

‘No, it is we who have been deprived!’

قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ

ќōōлə əусəтуhум əлəм əќуль-лəкум лəулəə тусəббиhуун

The most upright among them said, ‘Did I not tell you, ‘‘Why do you not glorify [Allah]?’’ ’

قَالُواْ سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

ќōōлюю субhəəнə рōббинəə иннəə куннəə з̃ōōлимиин

They said, ‘Immaculate is our Lord! We have indeed been wrongdoers!’

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ

фə`əќбəлə бə'дуhум 'əлəə бə'дый-йəтəлəəвəмуун

Then they turned to one another, blaming each other.
