وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ
and that the second creation is undertaken by Him,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ
and that He is the One who gives wealth and preserves (it),
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ
and that He is the One who is the Lord of Sirius (the star worshipped by pagans),
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
and that He has destroyed the earlier ‘Ād,
وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ
and Thamūd, so spared none,
وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ
and (destroyed) the people of NūH even earlier. Surely they were more unjust and more rebellious.
وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ
And He destroyed the overturned towns (of the people of LūT) also,
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
so enveloped they were by that which enveloped.
فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Then concerning which of your Lord’s bounties would you remain in doubt?
