The people of Noah, before them, called it a lie, and they called our servant a liar, and said, “Mad!” and he was rejected.
Then he besought his Lord, “Verily I am overpowered: defend me.”
So we opened the gates of heaven with water pouring forth,
And we made the earth break out in springs, and the waters met by an order foreordained;
And we carried him on a vessel of planks and nails,
Which sailed on beneath our eyes;—a reward for him who had been disbelieved.
And we left it as a sign; but doth any one mind?
And what was my torment and warning?
And we have made the Korān easy for reminding; but doth anyone mind?
Ad called it a lie; but what was my torment and warning?
