وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا
then gave vast wealth,
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا
and sons by his side,
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا
making everything easy for him––
ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ
yet he still hopes I will give him more.
كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا
No! He has been stubbornly hostile to Our revelation:
سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا
I will inflict a spiralling torment on him.
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
He planned and plotted––
فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ
devilishly he plotted!
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ
ferociously he plotted!––
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
and looked
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
and frowned and scowled
ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ
and turned away and behaved arrogantly
