الَّذِي
خَلَقَكُم

نَّفْسٍ
وَاحِدَةٍ
وَجَعَلَ
مِنْهَا
زَوْجَهَا
لِيَسْكُنَ

فَلَمَّا
تَغَشَّاهَا
حَمَلَتْ
حَمْلًا
خَفِيفًا

بِهِ
فَلَمَّا
أَثْقَلَت
دَّعَوَا
اللَّهَ
رَبَّهُمَا
لَئِنْ
آتَيْتَنَا
صَالِحًا
لَّنَكُونَنَّ
مِنَ
الشَّاكِرِينَ

It is He who created you from a single soul, and made from it its mate, that he might find comfort with her. So when he had covered her, she bore a light burden and passed [some time] with it. When she had grown heavy, they both invoked Allah, their Lord: ‘If You give us a healthy [child], we will be surely grateful.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."
