الـطارق

1 Waalssamai waalttariqi

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

2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu

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

3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu

3 The star of piercing brightness;

4 In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

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

5 Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

5 So let man consider of what he is created:

6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin

6 He is created of water pouring forth,

7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

7 Coming from between the back and the ribs.

8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

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

9 Yawma tubla alssarairu

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

10 Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

10 He shall have neither strength nor helper.

11 Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi

11 I swear by the raingiving heavens,

12 Waalardi thati alssadAAi

12 And the earth splitting (with plants);

13 Innahu laqawlun faslun

13 Most surely it is a decisive word,

14 Wama huwa bialhazli

14 And it is no joke.

15 Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

15 Surely they will make a scheme,

16 Waakeedu kaydan

16 And I (too) will make a scheme.

17 Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan

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