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

Surely they will make a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
