ثم بدلنا مكان السيئة الحسنة حتى عفوا وقالوا قد مس اباءنا الضراء والسراء فاخذناهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون

Then We changed their suffering Into prosperity, until they grew And multiplied, and began To say: "Our fathers (too) Were touched by suffering And affluence"… Behold! We called them to account Of a sudden, while they Realised not (their peril).
