walaw
And if
شِئۡنَا
shi'na
We willed
لَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ

surely We (could) have raised him
بِهَا
biha
with these
وَلَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ
walakinnahu

أَخۡلَدَ
akhlada
adhered

to
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
al-ardi
the earth
وَٱتَّبَعَ
wa-ittaba'a
and followed
هَوَىٰهُۚ
hawahu
his (vain) desires
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
famathaluhu
So his example
كَمَثَلِ

(of) the people
ٱلَّذِينَ

denied
بِـَٔايَٰتِنَاۚ
biayatina

the story
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
la'allahum
so that they may
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
