وَجَعَلنا فيها جَنّاتٍ مِن نَخيلٍ وَأَعنابٍ وَفَجَّرنا فيها مِنَ العُيونِ

We established gardens of date palms and vineyards in it, We caused springs to burst forth therein.

لِيَأكُلوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ وَما عَمِلَتهُ أَيديهِم ۖ أَفَلا يَشكُرونَ

So they may eat of its fruit. Their hands didn’t make it. Won’t they give thanks?

سُبحانَ الَّذي خَلَقَ الأَزواجَ كُلَّها مِمّا تُنبِتُ الأَرضُ وَمِن أَنفُسِهِم وَمِمّا لا يَعلَمونَ

Glory be to Him who created all pairs—from what the earth grows, from themselves, and from what they don’t know.

وَآيَةٌ لَهُمُ اللَّيلُ نَسلَخُ مِنهُ النَّهارَ فَإِذا هُم مُظلِمونَ

Another sign for them is the night. We strip away the day from it, and behold, they are in darkness.

وَالشَّمسُ تَجري لِمُستَقَرٍّ لَها ۚ ذٰلِكَ تَقديرُ العَزيزِ العَليمِ

And the sun runs toward its stopping place. That’s the decree of the Almighty, the Knowing.

لَا الشَّمسُ يَنبَغي لَها أَن تُدرِكَ القَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيلُ سابِقُ النَّهارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ في فَلَكٍ يَسبَحونَ

The sun is not permitted to overtake the moon, nor does the night outpace the day. Each floats in an orbit.

وَآيَةٌ لَهُم أَنّا حَمَلنا ذُرِّيَّتَهُم فِي الفُلكِ المَشحونِ

A sign for them is that We carried their progeny in the filled Ark.

وَخَلَقنا لَهُم مِن مِثلِهِ ما يَركَبونَ

And We’ve created for them similar to it on which they embark.

وَإِن نَشَأ نُغرِقهُم فَلا صَريخَ لَهُم وَلا هُم يُنقَذونَ

And if We will, We could drown them, with no one to hear their screams, and they won’t be rescued.

إِلّا رَحمَةً مِنّا وَمَتاعًا إِلىٰ حينٍ

Except out of mercy from Us, and for enjoyment for a while.
