In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man consider from what he is created.
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created from a gushing fluid
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
It is no pleasantry.
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I plot a plot (against them).
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
