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.

فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسانُ إِلىٰ طَعامِهِ

Then let mankind look at his food -

أَنّا صَبَبنَا الماءَ صَبًّا

How We poured down water in torrents,

فَأَنبَتنا فيها حَبًّا

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضبًا

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيتونًا وَنَخلًا

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدائِقَ غُلبًا

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

And fruit and grass -
