مِن نُطفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

ثُمَّ السَّبيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

Then He eased the way for him;

ثُمَّ أَماتَهُ فَأَقبَرَهُ

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

ثُمَّ إِذا شاءَ أَنشَرَهُ

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

كَلّا لَمّا يَقضِ ما أَمَرَهُ

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

أَنّا صَبَبنَا الماءَ صَبًّا

How We poured down water in torrents,

ثُمَّ شَقَقنَا الأَرضَ شَقًّا

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

فَأَنبَتنا فيها حَبًّا

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضبًا

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيتونًا وَنَخلًا

And olive and palm trees
