فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلىٰ رَجعِهِ لَقادِرٌ
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَما لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلا ناصِرٍ
Then man will have no power or any helper.

And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُ لَقَولٌ فَصلٌ

And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُم يَكيدونَ كَيدًا
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
