وَكَذَلِكَ

أَخْذُ

رَبِّكَ

إِذَا

أَخَذَ

الْقُرَى

وَهِيَ

ظَالِمَةٌ

إِنَّ

أَخْذَهُ

أَلِيمٌ

شَدِيدٌ

wa-ka-dhālika ʾakhdhu rabbika ʾidhā ʾakhadha l-qurā wa-hiya ẓālimatun ʾinna ʾakhdhahū ʾalīmun shadīdun

Such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the townships that are wrongdoing. Indeed His seizing is painful and severe.

Ali Quli Qarai

Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement.

Abdullah Yusufali
