وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّـٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ ۗ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

walaqad makkannākum fī l-arḍi wajaʿalnā lakum fīhā maʿāyisha qalīlan mā tashkurūna

And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.

We established you [people] on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood there––small thanks you give!

And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein provisions (for your life). Little thanks do you give.
