كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ
(Written) by the hands of scribes-
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ
Honourable and Pious and Just.
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what stuff hath He created him?
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
