إِنَّا
Indeed, We
مَكَّنَّا
[We] established
لَهُۥ
[for] him
فِى
in
ٱلْأَرْضِ
the earth,
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ
and We gave him
مِن
of
كُلِّ
every
شَىْءٍ
thing
سَبَبًا
a means.
فَأَتْبَعَ
So he followed
سَبَبًا
a course
حَتَّىٰٓ Until, إِذَا when بَلَغَ he reached مَغْرِبَ (the) setting place ٱلشَّمْسِ (of) the sun, وَجَدَهَا he found it تَغْرُبُ setting فِى in عَيْنٍ a spring حَمِئَةٍ (of) dark mud,
وَوَجَدَ and he found عِندَهَا near it قَوْمًا a community. قُلْنَا We said, يَٰذَا "O Dhul-qarnain! *[meaning includes next or prev. word] ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ "O Dhul-qarnain! *[meaning includes next or prev. word] إِمَّآ Either أَن [that] تُعَذِّبَ you punish وَإِمَّآ or أَن [that] تَتَّخِذَ you take

أَتْبَعَ he followed سَبَبًا a course حَتَّىٰٓ Until, إِذَا when بَلَغَ he reached بَيْنَ between ٱلسَّدَّيْنِ the two mountains, وَجَدَ he found مِن besides them *[meaning includes next or prev. word] دُونِهِمَا besides them *[meaning includes next or prev. word] قَوْمًا a community,
