Word by word

لِتَسْتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ

That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say, "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.

لكي تستووا على ظهور ما تركبون، ثم تذكروا نعمة ربكم إذا ركبتم عليه، وتقولوا: الحمد لله الذي سخر لنا هذا، وما كنا له مطيقين، ولتقولوا أيضًا: وإنا إلى ربنا بعد مماتنا لصائرون إليه راجعون. وفي هذا بيان أن الله المنعم على عباده بشتَّى النعم، هو المستحق للعبادة في كل حال.
