Sam Gerrans - The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation

And He it is that sends down from the sky water; and We bring forth thereby the growth of all things; and We bring forth from it greenery, bringing forth from it grain heaped up; and from the date-palm, from its spathes, bunches of dates within reach; and gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet different.

وَهُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءًۚ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِه۪ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِراً نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَباًّ مُتَرَاكِباًۚ وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِهَا قِنْوَانٌ دَانِيَةٌ وَجَنَّاتٍ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهاً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍۜ اُنْظُـرُٓوا اِلٰى ثَمَرِه۪ٓ اِذَٓا اَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِه۪ۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكُمْ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
