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