اَوَعَجِبۡتُمۡ اَنۡ جَآءَكُمۡ ذِكۡرٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنۡكُمۡ لِيُنۡذِرَكُمۡ ؕ وَاذۡكُرُوۡۤا اِذۡ جَعَلَـكُمۡ ۚ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ قَوۡمِ نُوۡحٍ وَّزَادَكُمۡ فِى الۡخَـلۡقِ بَصۜۡطَةً فَاذۡكُرُوۡۤا اٰ لَۤاءَ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ
Aa wa aa-jib-toom aun jaa-aa-koom zik-roon
Min raub-bay koom aa-laa ra-jo-lin min koom
Lay yoon-zay-ra koom
Wa uz-ko-roo iz ja-aa-la koom kho-la-faa-aa
Min bau-day qao-may noo-hin
Wa zaa-da koom fee il-khaul-qay baus-ta-taun
Fa uz-ko-roo aa-laa-aa ul-laa-hay
La-aul-la koom toof-lay-hoo-n
And are you surprised that a Reminder came to you
From your God upon a man among you
So that he warns you
And remember when He made you representatives
After the people of Noah
And increased you in population abundantly
So remember the blessings of Allah
So that you prosper.
