    75:25Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

  26. كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

    75:26No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

  27. وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ

    75:27And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

  28. وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

  32. وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

    75:32But [instead], he denied and turned away.

  33. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

    75:33And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

  34. أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

    75:34Woe to you, and woe!

  35. ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ

    75:36Does man think that he will be left neglected?

  37. أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ

    75:37Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

  38. ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

    75:38Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

  39. فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

    75:39And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
