فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
He neither believed nor prayed,
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
but denied the truth and turned away,
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
walking back to his people with a conceited swagger.
أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ
Closer and closer it comes to you.
ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ
Closer and closer still.
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى
Does man think he will be left alone?
أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ
Was he not just a drop of spilt-out sperm,
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
which became a clinging form, which God shaped in due proportion,
فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ
fashioning from it the two sexes, male and female?
أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ
Does He who can do this not have the power to bring the dead back to life?
