Al Tariq

Shakir

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

Transliteration

1 Waalssamai waalttariqi

Shakir

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

Transliteration

2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu

Shakir

3 The star of piercing brightness;

Transliteration

3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu

Shakir

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

Transliteration

4 In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

Shakir

5 So let man consider of what he is created:

Transliteration

5 Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

Shakir

6 He is created of water pouring forth,

Transliteration

6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin

Shakir

7 Coming from between the back and the ribs.

Transliteration

7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

Shakir

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

Transliteration

8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

Shakir

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

Transliteration

9 Yawma tubla alssarairu

Shakir

10 He shall have neither strength nor helper.

Transliteration

10 Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

Shakir

11 I swear by the raingiving heavens,

Transliteration

11 Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi

Shakir

12 And the earth splitting (with plants);

Transliteration

12 Waalardi thati alssadAAi

Shakir

13 Most surely it is a decisive word,

Transliteration

13 Innahu laqawlun faslun

Shakir

14 And it is no joke.

Transliteration

14 Wama huwa bialhazli

Shakir

15 Surely they will make a scheme,

Transliteration

15 Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

Shakir

16 And I (too) will make a scheme.

Transliteration

16 Waakeedu kaydan

Shakir

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

Transliteration

17 Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
