بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
iIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ١ i
By the sky and the night comer - (1)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ٢ i
And what can make you know what is the night comer? (2)
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ٣ i
It is the piercing star - (3)
إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ٤ i
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. (4)
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ٥ i
So let man observe from what he was created. (5)
خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ ٦ i
He was created from a fluid, ejected, (6)
يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ٧ i
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. (7)
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ٨ i
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. (8)
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ٩ i
The Day when secrets will be put on trial, (9)
فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ١٠ i
Then man will have no power or any helper. (10)
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ١١ i
By the sky which returns [rain] (11)
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ١٢ i
And [by] the earth which cracks open, (12)
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ١٣ i
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, (13)
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ١٤ i
And it is not amusement. (14)
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ١٥ i
Indeed, they are planning a plan, (15)
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ١٦ i
But I am planning a plan. (16)
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ١٧ i
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. (17)
