وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ

Then comes the realization that it’s time to depart.

وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِ

As one leg intertwines with the other.

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المَساقُ

On that Day, the voyage will be towards your Lord.

فَلا صَدَّقَ وَلا صَلّىٰ

He neither believed nor prayed.

وَلـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

Instead, he denied and turned away.

أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Woe to you, then woe!

ثُمَّ أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Then, woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحسَبُ الإِنسانُ أَن يُترَكَ سُدًى

Does man think he will be left without purpose?

أَلَم يَكُ نُطفَةً مِن مَنِيٍّ يُمنىٰ

Wasn’t he a sperm-drop from emitted semen?

ثُمَّ كانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّىٰ

Then he became a clinging clot, and He created and formed?
