عَلَّمَهُ البَيانَ

[And] taught him eloquence.

الشَّمسُ وَالقَمَرُ بِحُسبانٍ

The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,

وَالنَّجمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسجُدانِ

And the stars and trees prostrate.

وَالسَّماءَ رَفَعَها وَوَضَعَ الميزانَ

And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

أَلّا تَطغَوا فِي الميزانِ

That you not transgress within the balance.

وَالأَرضَ وَضَعَها لِلأَنامِ

And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.

فيها فاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخلُ ذاتُ الأَكمامِ

Therein is fruit and palm trees having sheaths [of dates]

وَالحَبُّ ذُو العَصفِ وَالرَّيحانُ

And grain having husks and scented plants.

فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

خَلَقَ الإِنسانَ مِن صَلصالٍ كَالفَخّارِ

He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.
