Verse 189

۞ هُوَ He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who خَلَقَكُم created you مِّن from نَّفْسٍۢ a soul وَٰحِدَةٍۢ single وَجَعَلَ and made مِنْهَا from it زَوْجَهَا its mate لِيَسْكُنَ that he might live إِلَيْهَا ۖ with her فَلَمَّا And when تَغَشَّىٰهَا he covers her حَمَلَتْ she carries حَمْلًا a burden خَفِيفًۭا light فَمَرَّتْ and continues بِهِۦ ۖ with it فَلَمَّآ But when أَثْقَلَت she grows heavy دَّعَوَا they both invoke ٱللَّهَ Allah رَبَّهُمَا their Lord لَئِنْ If ءَاتَيْتَنَا You give us صَـٰلِحًۭا a righteous (child) لَّنَكُونَنَّ surely we will be مِنَ among ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the thankful ١٨٩

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her, she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
