Word by word

قِيلَ لَهَا ٱدْخُلِى ٱلصَّرْحَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن قَوَارِيرَ ۗ قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

She was told, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a body of water and uncovered her shins [to wade through]. He said, "Indeed, it is a palace [whose floor is] made smooth with glass." She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

قيل لها: ادخلي القصر، وكان صحنه مِن زجاج تحته ماء، فلما رأته ظنته ماء تتردد أمواجه، وكشفت عن ساقيها لتخوض الماء، فقال لها سليمان: إنه صحن أملس من زجاج صاف والماء تحته. فأدركت عظمة ملك سليمان، وقالت: رب إني ظلمت نفسي بما كنت عليه من الشرك، وانقدتُ متابعة لسليمان داخلة في دين رب العالمين أجمعين.
