M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded.

66. And We revealed to him this decree that the roots of these shall be cut off in the morning.

67. And the people of the town came rejoicing.

68. He said: Surely these are my guests, therefore do not disgrace me,

69. And guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not put me to shame.

70. They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other) people?

71. He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).

72. By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication.

73. So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon the time of sunrise;

74. Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down upon them stones of what had been decreed.

75. Surely in this are signs for those who examine.

76. And surely it is on a road that still abides.

77. Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers.

78. And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surely unjust.
