2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu

2 And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -

3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu

6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin

6 He is created from a drop emitted -

7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

7 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:

8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

8 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!

9 Yawma tubla alssarairu
