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