WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)?

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see?

Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight:

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete;

Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra

That He hath promised a Second Creation (Raising of the Dead);
