قُتِلَ الإِنسانُ ما أَكفَرَهُ

Perish man! How ungrateful he is!

مِن أَيِّ شَيءٍ خَلَقَهُ

From what did He create him?

مِن نُطفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

From a drop, He created him, and then proportioned him.

ثُمَّ السَّبيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

Then He smoothed the path for him.

ثُمَّ أَماتَهُ فَأَقبَرَهُ

Then He causes him to die, and then He buries him.

كَلّا لَمّا يَقضِ ما أَمَرَهُ

Yet, he didn’t fulfill what He commanded him.

فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسانُ إِلىٰ طَعامِهِ

Let man contemplate his food.

أَنّا صَبَبنَا الماءَ صَبًّا

How We pour down rain in torrents.

ثُمَّ شَقَقنَا الأَرضَ شَقًّا

Then, We burst the earth in clefts.

فَأَنبَتنا فيها حَبًّا

And cause diverse grains to sprout.
