Chapter 86, 17 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star
Waalssamai waalttariqi
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وما أدراك ما الطارق
- The piercing Star!
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
النجم الثاقب
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
So let man consider from what he is created.
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
He is created from a gushing fluid
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خلق من ماء دافق
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إنه على رجعه لقادر
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يوم تبلى السرائر
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
والسماء ذات الرجع
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
والأرض ذات الصدع
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إنه لقول فصل
It is no pleasantry.
Wama huwa bialhazli
وما هو بالهزل
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
And I plot a plot (against them).
Waakeedu kaydan
وأكيد كيدا
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
