1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star

1 Waalssamai waalttariqi

1 I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;

2 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu

2 And what will make you know what the comer by night is?

3 - The piercing Star!

3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu

3 The star of piercing brightness;

4 No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

4 In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

4 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.

5 So let man consider from what he is created.

5 Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

5 So let man consider of what he is created:

6 He is created from a gushing fluid

6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin

6 He is created of water pouring forth,

7 That issued from between the loins and ribs.

7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

7 Coming from between the back and the ribs.

8 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

8 Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

9 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

9 Yawma tubla alssarairu

9 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,

10 Then will he have no might nor any helper.

10 Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

10 He shall have neither strength nor helper.

11 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

11 Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi

11 I swear by the raingiving heavens,

12 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

12 Waalardi thati alssadAAi

12 And the earth splitting (with plants);

13 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

13 Innahu laqawlun faslun

13 Most surely it is a decisive word,

14 It is no pleasantry.

14 Wama huwa bialhazli

14 And it is no joke.

15 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

15 Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

15 Surely they will make a scheme,

16 And I plot a plot (against them).

16 Waakeedu kaydan

16 And I (too) will make a scheme.

17 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.

17 Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan

17 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
