Chapter 86, 17 verses
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
Waalssamai waalttariqi
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
The star of piercing brightness;
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So let man consider of what he is created:
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created of water pouring forth,
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And the earth splitting (with plants);
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Most surely it is a decisive word,
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
And it is no joke.
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Surely they will make a scheme,
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I (too) will make a scheme.
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
