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!

أَيَحسَبُ الإِنسانُ أَن يُترَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

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?
