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.

ثُمَّ إِذا شاءَ أَنشَرَهُ

Then, at His will, He will resurrect him.

كَلّا لَمّا يَقضِ ما أَمَرَهُ

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

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.

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضبًا

And grapes and vegetables.

وَزَيتونًا وَنَخلًا

And olives and dates.
