بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ ص وَالقُرءانِ ذِى الذِّكرِ
Sad waalqurani thee alththikri
1. Sad. By the renowned Qur'an
بَلِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا فى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقاقٍ
Bali allatheena kafaroo fee AAizzatin washiqaqin
2. Nay, but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism
كَم أَهلَكنا مِن قَبلِهِم مِن قَرنٍ فَنادَوا وَلاتَ حينَ مَناصٍ
Kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarnin fanadaw walata heena manasin
3. How many a generation We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was no longer the time for escape
