بِما غَفَرَ لي رَبّي وَجَعَلَني مِنَ المُكرَمينَ

Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."

وَما أَنزَلنا عَلىٰ قَومِهِ مِن بَعدِهِ مِن جُندٍ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَما كُنّا مُنزِلينَ

And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

إِن كانَت إِلّا صَيحَةً واحِدَةً فَإِذا هُم خامِدونَ

It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

يا حَسرَةً عَلَى العِبادِ ۚ ما يَأتيهِم مِن رَسولٍ إِلّا كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ

How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

أَلَم يَرَوا كَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِنَ القُرونِ أَنَّهُم إِلَيهِم لا يَرجِعونَ

Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?

وَآيَةٌ لَهُمُ الأَرضُ المَيتَةُ أَحيَيناها وَأَخرَجنا مِنها حَبًّا فَمِنهُ يَأكُلونَ

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

وَجَعَلنا فيها جَنّاتٍ مِن نَخيلٍ وَأَعنابٍ وَفَجَّرنا فيها مِنَ العُيونِ

And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -

لِيَأكُلوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ وَما عَمِلَتهُ أَيديهِم ۖ أَفَلا يَشكُرونَ

That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?

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

Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

وَآيَةٌ لَهُمُ اللَّيلُ نَسلَخُ مِنهُ النَّهارَ فَإِذا هُم مُظلِمونَ

And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.
