Sura 26: AL-SHUARA (THE POETS) - Juz' 19 - Translation Shakir

وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿۱۵۱﴾
And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant, (151)
الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ﴿۱۵۲﴾
Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright (152)
قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ ﴿۱۵۳﴾
They said: You are only of the deluded ones; (153)
مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِآيَةٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿۱۵۴﴾
You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful (154)
قَالَ هَذِهِ نَاقَةٌ لَهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ ﴿۱۵۵﴾
He said: This is a she-camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time; (155)
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿۱۵۶﴾
And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you (156)
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ ﴿۱۵۷﴾
But they hamstrung her, then regretted; (157)
فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۵۸﴾
So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe (158)
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۱۵۹﴾
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful (159)
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۶۰﴾
The people of Lut gave the lie to the messengers (160)
