And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun
فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena
فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Would they hasten on Our doom ?
