وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ
And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَا
And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life;
وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ
And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female,
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ
From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth;
وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ
And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth;
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ
And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ
And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius;
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad,
وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ
And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;
وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ
And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious;
