1 . Lo! We sent Noah unto his people ( saying ) : Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them .
2 . He said : O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you
3 . ( Bidding you ) : Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me ,
4 . That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term . Lo! the term of Allah , when it cometh , cannot be delayed , if ye but knew .
5 . He said : My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day
6 . But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance ;
7 . And lo ! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayest pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist ( in their refusal ) and magnify themselves in pride .
8 . And lo! I have called unto them aloud ,
9 . And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them , and I have appealed to them in private .
10 . And I have said : Seek pardon of your Lord Lo! He was ever Forgiving .
11 . He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain ,
12 . And will help you with wealth and sons , and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers .
13 . What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity
14 . When He created you by ( divers ) stages?
15 . See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony ,
16 . And hath made the moon a light therein , and made the sun a lamp?
17 . And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth ,
18 . And afterward He maketh you return thereto , and He will bring you forth again , a ( new ) forthbringing .
19 . And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you
20 . That ye may thread the valley ways thereof .
21 . Noah said : My Lord! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin ;
22 . And they have plotted a mighty plot ,
23 . And they have said : Forsake not your gods . Forsake not Wadd , nor Suwa , nor Yaghuth and Yauq and Nasr .
24 . And they have led many astray , and Thou increasest the wrong doers in naught save error .
25 . Because of their sins they were drowned , then made to enter a Fire . And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah .
26 . And Noah said : My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land .
27 . If Thou shouldst leave them , they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates .
28 . My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing , and believing men and believing women , and increase not the wrong doers in aught save ruin .
