Life to Dead Land
لِّنُحۡـِۧيَ بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةࣰ مَّيۡتࣰا وَنُسۡقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَآ أَنۡعَٰمࣰا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرࣰا ٤٩
That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
That We may bring dead land to life thereby and give it to drink to many of Our creatures.
