Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺ and rejected Our servant, calling ˹him˺ insane. And he was intimidated.

So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help ˹me˺!”

So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring rain,

and caused the earth to burst with springs, so the waters met for a fate already set.

We carried him on that ˹Ark made˺ of planks and nails,

sailing under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes—a ˹fair˺ punishment on behalf of the one ˹they˺ denied.

We certainly left this¹ as a sign. So is there anyone who will be mindful?

Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
