'Ara, Or The Poets.

Section 4

53.
Faarsala firAAawnu fee almada-ini hashireenA

53. By inspiration We told Moses:


"Travel by night with

My servants; for surely

Ye shall be pursued.
"

54. Inna haola-i lashirthimatun qaleeloonA

54.
Then Pharaoh sent heralds

To (all) the Cities,

55.
Wa-innahum lana lagha-i"th"oonA

55.
(Saying): "These (Israelites)

Are but a small band,

56.
Wa-inna lajameeAAun hathiroonA

56.
\"And they are raging

Furiously against us;

57.
Faakhrajnahum min jannatin waAAuyoonIn

57.
\"But we are a multitude

Amply fore-warned."

58. Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemIn

58.
So We expelled them

From gardens, springs,

59.
Kathalika waawrathnaha banee isra-eelA

59.
Treasures, and every kind

Of honourable position;

60.
FaatbaAAoohum mushriqeenA

60.
Thus it was, but

We made the Children

Of Israel inheritors

Of such things.

61.
Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala as-habu moosa inna lamudrakoonA

61.
So they pursued them

At sunrise.

62.
Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeenI

62.
And when the two bodies

Saw each other, the people

Of Moses said: "We are

Sure to be overtaken.
"

63. Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra faInfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaALttawdi alAAa"th"eemI

63.
(Moses) said: "By no means!

My Lord is with me!

Soon will He guide me!
"

64. Waazlafna thamma al-akhareenA

64.
Then We told Moses

By inspiration: "Strike

The sea with thy rod."

So it divided, and each

Separate part became

Like the huge, firm mass

Of a mountain.

65.
Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeenA

65.
And We made the other

Party approach thither.

66.
Thumma aghraqna al-akhareenA

66.
We delivered Moses and all

Who were with him;

67.
Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mu/mineenA

67.
But We drowned the others.

68.
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu aLrraheemU

68. Verily in this is a Sign:


But most of them

Do not believe.

69.
WaOtlu AAalayhim nabaa ibraheemA

69.
And verily thy Lord

Is He, the Exalted in Might,

Most Merciful.
