فَلا صَدَّقَ وَلا صَلّىٰ

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

وَلـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلىٰ أَهلِهِ يَتَمَطّىٰ

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ

Then woe to you, and woe!

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]

فَجَعَلَ مِنهُ الزَّوجَينِ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنثىٰ

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيسَ ذٰلِكَ بِقادِرٍ عَلىٰ أَن يُحيِيَ المَوتىٰ

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
