وَلَمّا طَغى الإِنسانُ سَلَّطَ رَبُّهُ

عَلى نَفسِهِ مِن نَفسِهِ عُضوَهُ الفَردا

When man grew arrogant, his Lord unleashed upon him

From within himself, his solitary member

فَأَعقَبَهُ ذُلاً وَفَقراً وَأَفرُخاً

صِغاراً ذَوي جُوعٍ يكدُّونَهُ كَدّا

So he was left humiliated and impoverished, with fledglings

Small, famished creatures tormenting him severely

فَأَقبِح بِها مِن شَهوَةٍ كانَ أَصلُها

مُقَدِّمَة الإِستَينِ أَنتَجَتا وُلدا

Thus the desire from which he originated

Led to the birth of these two disgraceful outcomes
