Chapter 86, 17 verses
Waalssamai waalttariqi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
The star of piercing brightness;
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man consider of what he is created:
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created of water pouring forth,
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
And the earth splitting (with plants);
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Most surely it is a decisive word,
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
And it is no joke.
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Surely they will make a scheme,
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I (too) will make a scheme.
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
