Again, tell Me about the water you drink:

Is it you who have brought it down from the clouds, or are We the One who sends (it) down?

If We so will, We can make it bitter in taste. So why do you not offer gratitude?

Is it you who have originated its tree, or are We the Originator?

We have made it a reminder (of Our infinite power, and of the fire of hell) and a benefit for travelers in deserts.

So, proclaim the purity of the name of your Lord, the Magnificent.

So, I swear by the setting places of the stars,

- and indeed it is a great oath, if you are to appreciate -
