وَكُلَّ
إِنسَانٍ
أَلْزَمْنَاهُ
طَائِرَهُ
فِي
عُنُقِهِ
وَنُخْرِجُ
لَهُ
يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ
كِتَابًا
يَلْقَاهُ
مَنشُورًا
wa-kulla ʾinsānin ʾalzamnāhu ṭāʾirahū fī ʿunuqihī wa-nukhriju lahū yawma l-qiyāmati kitāban yalqāhu manshūran-i
Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.
— Abdullah Yusufali
We have attached every person’s omen to his neck, and We shall bring it out for him on the Day of Resurrection as a book that he will find wide open.
