     فَلْيَنْظُرِ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَائِبِ

     falyanẓuri l-ʔinsānu mimma ḵuliqa ḵuliqa min māʔin dāfiqin yaḵruju min bayni ṣ-ṣulbi wat-tarāʔibi

     So let man look around: what is it that he was made of? / He was made out of out-flowing water. / From between the spine and the breastbone, it gushes out.
