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