وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِ

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المَساقُ

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلا صَدَّقَ وَلا صَلّىٰ

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحسَبُ الإِنسانُ أَن يُترَكَ سُدًى

أَلَم يَكُ نُطفَةً مِن مَنِيٍّ يُمنىٰ

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّىٰ

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
