كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So whoever wills may remember it.
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ
Exalted and purified,
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ
Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
