Chapter 86, 17 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
By the sky and the night comer -
Waalssamai waalttariqi
وما أدراك ما الطارق
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
النجم الثاقب
It is the piercing star -
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
So let man observe from what he was created.
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
خلق من ماء دافق
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
إنه على رجعه لقادر
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
يوم تبلى السرائر
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
Yawma tubla alssarairu
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
Then man will have no power or any helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
والسماء ذات الرجع
By the sky which returns [rain]
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
والأرض ذات الصدع
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
إنه لقول فصل
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Innahu laqawlun faslun
وما هو بالهزل
And it is not amusement.
Wama huwa bialhazli
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
وأكيد كيدا
But I am planning a plan.
Waakeedu kaydan
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
