كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ
But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder.
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So let whoever wills be mindful of it.
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ
It is ˹written˺ on pages held in honour—
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ
highly esteemed, purified—
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ
by the hands of angel-scribes,
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ
honourable and virtuous.
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺!
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what substance did He create them?
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development.
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He makes the way easy for them,
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ
then causes them to die and be buried.
