فَلَمَّا
وَضَعَتْهَا
قَالَتْ
رَبِّ
إِنِّي
وَضَعْتُهَا
أُنثَى
وَاللَّهُ
أَعْلَمُ
بِمَا
وَضَعَتْ
وَلَيْسَ
الذَّكَرُ
كَالْأُنثَى
وَإِنِّي
سَمَّيْتُهَا
مَرْيَمَ
وَإِنِّي
أُعِيذُهَا
بِكَ
وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا
مِنَ
الشَّيْطَانِ
الرَّجِيمِ

When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and Allah knew best what she brought forth- "And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."
— Abdullah Yusufali
When she bore her, she said, ‘My Lord, I have borne a female [child]’—and Allah knew better what she had borne, and the male [child she expected] was no match for the female [child she had borne] —‘and I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Your care against [the evil of] the outcast Satan.’
