وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُـوۡۤا اَخۡرِجُوۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡيَتِكُمۡ ۚ اِنَّهُمۡ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوۡنَ
Wa maa kaa-na ja-waa-ba qao-may he il-laa aun qaa-loo
Aukh-ra-joo hoom min quar-ya-tay koom
In-na hoom o-naa-soon

And no answer was of his people except that they said,
“Expel these people from your town.
They surely are people thinking that way
They cleanse themselves.”
