وذا النون اذ ذهب مغاضبا فظن ان لن نقدر عليه فنادى في الظلمات ان لا اله الا انت سبحانك اني كنت من الظالمين

And remember Ẓun-nūn, When he departed in wrath: He imagined that We Had no power over him! But he cried through the depths Of darkness, "There is No god but Thou: Glory to Thee: I was Indeed wrong!"
